    Yea, It pretty easy to spiff up my truck as it never gets nasty. I am kinda bumed over the pics. I use a 8ft ladder and stand in the bed to get the top of it. Wife`s Volvo is a easy one too.

    Nice work AtlantaBoy. I like your truck, especially the way the billet grill looks.

    Beautiful! I`m a ford truck man too. I just spent 3 days on mine over the weekend. Not a lot of business on a holiday weekend.
    I love the smell of EX-P in the morning.

    Yea, I love the billett grills, but sorta hard to clean and polish those little strips.....lol. The tires are a bit of a hassle. They never get alot of brake dust/grime build up, just dressing build up. I try to give them a satin look, but their hard to buff out with all the nooks and cranies on the exterior. I always have to clean them twice to fully remove all the dressing so I can start with a clean, dry tires. If I didn`t and just reapplied over the old stuff, FLING all over the place. I do alot of lifted/show trucks. Mainly becasuse someone is asking how I keep it so clean or what I use on it, then I roll into detailing. Holiday weekend are the worst about cancelations.

    I use Poorboys Pro Polish on my Billet grill and it works awesome. Better than any metal polish I`ve tried so far. Just my opinion.
