Spring cleaning is done.
Strip wash
Iron X
Clean wash
Clay bar
Polish
Wax
All trim cleaned
Wheels and brakes detailed
Steel wool on all the glass
Back in the garage with the cover on.

I’m beat but I do enjoy the process.
This was the first real wash since last year…it only comes out on nice days anymore…until June when I do Hot Rod Power Tour then it’ll get filthy. 35B22918-B59C-4721-BAE5-5E9003AB0825.jpeg

0000 Steel wool is the best glass cleaner in the world. Just blow the residue off with a leaf blower if it gets on the paint.

Great looking truck! Had ours ceramic pro gold package and it doesn't look as nice as yours! The wheels and springs really set off your look.

Just sounds a bit harsh for my liking.

0000 steel wool is super fine.
I use it on chrome and stainless with a metal polish. Cleans your tailpipes right up.

I haven’t used it on chrome in years but you’re right…it’s great for cleaning and removing rust spots.

I've always used a blue kitchen scotch-brite pad and either bon-ami cleanser or bar keepers friend on my glass. Both cleansers are fine grain and safe for glass. And the blue pads are fine grain also.
