My brother just bought a new truck last weekend. The paint was rough, although it had some shine, it didn`t have any depth. I love to see a mirror finish on a vehicle, so I was eager to help him out.

I first started with Zaino car wash, followed by a good clay barring, then a second Zaino wash. I then laid down one coat of Zaino Z2 pro and finished with Z6 QD. I didn`t have enough time to apply multiple coats of polish, so I`ll finish that this week.

I used a MF WW towel I purchased form Winners Circle to dry, which was the first time I had ever used one. I used to use the Absorber before the WW. This towel was awesome, and seems like it holds more water than the Absorber. It was easy to handle and a perfect size for drying. I dried the entire truck, wrung the towel once, then wiped any damp areas and that was it. I will continue to use this towel from now on. The way it looks and feels, I didn`t think it would work as well as it did. I also used another MF WW towel to buff off the polish.

I then applied Poor Boys Wheel Sealant to the polished aluminum wheels. This went on easy with a foam applicator, dried to a haze, then buffed off with a MF. The wheel feels very slick with a great shine. First time I ever used this product as well. Time will tell how good it works now. Any way here are some pics of the finished product
