finally got around to doing the exterior of my truck today think its been about a year since it was really gone over.( yea eee gads i know but i work horibly long hours) I think it came out well

I used . Coral Blue foaming wash, mothers power polish, mothers power wax. applied with R.O.B and rubbed out by hand with MF, Stoners on the windows.

Nice turnaround, it was looking pretty lifeless and dirty before. If you like the Power Wax try FX on your silver.

Im just getting back into detailing so i donot have many supplies, the only place here in town to buy anything is autozone and walmart, i like the mothers products but they both have limited ones that they carry. I live 15 min from carbrite but can never get to there sales dept when they are open , i really prefer to use their products.

I have heard good things about Carbrite also, I was lucky enough to get some FX at half price at Advance Auto in Feb. Pep Boys still has it but they are not that cheap. Where are you located by the way?

i am in Franklin Indiana it is about 10 min from indianapolis to the south. last time i went to carbrite was about 3 weeks ago to get a price list and i walked out with a free gallon of terminator mango ( odor eliminator/freshener) and a free gallon of brite spot ( concentrated cleaner)

Great going with Carbrite you know how to charm them! You also have the Blue Ribbon folks near you too, they make some excellent products. Let us know how you like Terminator Mango and the Brite Spot.

I love the terminator mango mixed 1:1 and used in a spray bottle it really is strong stuff. lasts for a great while and only takes 1-2 squirts to get the interior smelling really mangoy ( is that a word) i have never tried the blue ribbon stuff.... used to try to stick to carbrite or mothers. but i will look the blue ribbon stuff up and see if i can coax them out of some samples....

Nice improvement! Excellent gloss too. Nothing wrong with using OTC products these days, there are many that rival the boutique products...as your detail shows! :)
