What have you done to your powerstroke today?

Its not cheating if you keep them together.

But I am in AZ, and my truck is at the airport back home. It has been neglected but there is a nice pile of toys at home waiting to go on when I get there. Just getting a future reference. I like the 6.7 tho. very snappy in the truck I drove, only wish I knew what it weighed.

I get two weeks to do all my work then get shipped out on easter to the east coast, when I come back, it is time to hook and drag that sled!:toast::toast:

And I'm probably picture whoring now but I'm impressed with myself. First time clay barring a truck. I clay barred, compounded, sealed/glazed, and waxed.




Not too shabby for 120k miles and nearly 10 years old

One of these days I'll put in the time to do all that to mine. Truck looks awesome man! You'd never think that was 10yr old paint.

Great job man, and welcome to a new obsession. I do that whole process 3-4 times a year cause it just keeps everything so nice. Chemicalguys.com gets a lot of my money...

Thanks buddy. Does it sound like I went through the process in the correct order? I had never clay barred before and I usually just start with compound, but I read all of the bashing on here about those who don't clay bar.


Needless to say I noticed a huge difference with all of the crap off the paint from the clay bar.

I'm glad this one doesn't have one. I like them but I left mine open like 3 times rained every time. I'll be fine with my sliding rear lol

Yeah the main thing is the clay bar gets all that stuff off and you're just compounding nice, clean, smooth paint. I've noticed you can compound without clay, and it will remove a lot of the same things, but I just figure that you're forcing the compound to do that before actually polishing the paint.

I think technically the sealant/glaze should come after the wax, but honestly, when you're putting both I don't think it should matter much. You're still doing more to protect and enhance the paint than 95% of other people.

Well at least you now have a platform to stand on up front when working on it!

Love it when the brown truck drops presents off.

When I ordered it I wasn't sure how far it was going to hang out. It's growing on me and yes it will make a excellent step!
