[QUOTE="Gerald, post: 1397090, member: 36446"] Great perspectives from everyone. I'm kind of the mindset that a lot of the detailing techniques are to some degree over the top and not needed. But this is my first Raptor and first vehicle where I really care how it looks. Most of my other vehicles have just been conveyances to get from point A to Point B. So while some of the things may not be needed, I am having fun trying the various steps. For this latest wash, I thoroughly rinsed the car completely with my pressure washer. Then I hooked up the foam cannon and sprayed the entire Raptor down. I let the foam sit on the Raptor for about 2 minutes. Then I rinsed everything off again with the pressure washer. I have to say, it did look fairly clean without putting a hand on it. Especially the wheels. Then I washed the entire vehicle by hand. I had to put up a canopy to help keep the direct sunlight off of the Raptor. Put some shine on the tires. Then I decided to put another coat of Gtechnique C2V3 on the Raptor since it's been about 3 months now since the last coating. I think the truck came out great!! Hopefully the rain stays away for several days now!! [ATTACH=full]129748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129749[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
