I decided to finally give my truck a decent bath. It`s been 27 days since I coated the hood and 12 days since I coated the rest of the truck. It`s only had one high pressure hose down + spray and gloss wipedown as drying aid with a cobra ww towel-about 10 days ago or so.
Pinnacle liquid gloss rinseless wash
2bm w ggwb
5 Rw micro mitts from acc
1 gold plush micro deticated to the lower panel areas
Dried with large griots pfm and small pfm
Topped with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Spray Wax
Spread with DMMT, final wipe with DMT
(Dmmt is a larger dmt just fyi)-enough acronyms for you yet? Haha
Pretty happy with the restult. I really wanted that wax depth.
I know, it`s a sickness. Lol
Plus I`m interested to see how the spray wax will affect the water behavior. They say it will rain this week. If not, I got the water hose.
The spray wax didn`t seem to like the exov2 only area of the hood. It seemed to bring out more of the blotchy looking surface that I though had worn itself evenly out.
I still don`t really like exov2 (by itself) to be honest (unless its on top of csl)
It was really hard to even get pics of the dirt.
The one thing I noticed for sure was that the pasenger side, which is all coatings was much less dirty than the drivers side which is gtech c2v3 only.
These are all the dirty pics. It has rained several times since applied and I drive this truck almost every day to work 60+ mi round trip.
see, it`s dirty
Drivers side which had 4 or 5 month old essence with a panel wipe and topped with Gtechniq C2v3 only.
Trunk has csl as base and gyeon cure, gtechniq c2v3 on sides with csl only in middle
I found some dirtiness...
Chrome hasn`t beem polised in 3+ yrs.` 12 days ago i gave it a panel wipe and c2v3
Found some spots
Now on to the drivers side which has mostly csl. One small area has pbl and another has csl+exov2
Noticeably less dirty than the c2v3 only side
Roof which had fuzion spray wax
Then i sprayed it down with my garden hose prior to the rw
Exov2 side
Csl (middle)
Csl+evov2 (right)
Aftef wash
Did uber qd spray on wheels and wiped with black micro, same on running boards.
Didn`t touch tires. They have bold n bright still looking decent from two weeks ago.
And later with my direct hit post 5:30 sun
Not too bad for 2006 127k+ mi paint.
Thanks for viewing.
