Clay barred the R/T

Some of you on FB or twitter may have seen these already.

Dirtybird helped me take a clay bar to the truck yesterday.
I can't believe we didn't get a before shot, it was pretty brutal.
Drove it all winter, and the trip to Milwaukee last week did a number.

Here is a progress shot. Notice how thrilled Matt looks.

And better yet, he didn't want to take pics of it after, so I was on my own.
I'm pretty sure he resents the fact that out of all his pics on flickr,
the shots of my truck still get the most hits :lol:

The tires weren't really clean, and I turned them the wrong way.
I'm no photographer, so don't worry about it. But damn the body is smooth :D

Then today we were heading up to Nachos in Imlay City and the freeway was clear so he snapped a couple of rolling shots. Here's one:

White is soooooo sweet when it's clean.

What did you use after you clayed? I'd protect it with a sealant or wax....

Not keeping it waxed is what got me in this mess in the first place :D

It's no fun though. I'm hoping maybe one of the detail sponsors wants to trade some work for a detail the next time it needs cleaned :lol:

Nice truck. It's a PITA to keep clean when construction starts on 696 and ends at the Zoo Interchange in Milwaukee.

What were you doing in Ghettowaukee? We probably passed each other. I was in Mt. Clemens last week.

Yeah, it's always bad. I had a bunch of road tar all over the body.

I've got friends in the area.
