How I detail my truck!

I just spray their APC(diluted of course that's some strong shit) and rinse it off.

i guess that works.

Question, I bought my Tahoe last June, it's parked in the garage every night. After I wash it, the paint feels smooth, do I need to prep the paint still before I apply a wax? I'm new to this detailing stuff. This damn Tahoe is getting me addicted to new things and making me spend more money!!!

before I wax, I claybar and polish. that's just my preference. i'm sure there are other methods.

To check if you need to claybar your ride, put your hand in a sandwich bag, and run it across your paint, if it still feel smooth your good, if it doesn't feel smooth and catch a little you then you need to claybar.

If you have fine scratch you want to get out you need to polish it.

Then final step wax.

I tape everything off because you don't want to get wax or polish on your plastics or rubbers, because the wax can soak into plastics and make them look cloudy.

If your going to wax with a machine I would claybar right after washing just to prevent contaminants from swirling around on your paint.
