Gav'sPurpleZ Gav'sPurpleZ what's a good glaze to get a metallic silver to "pop"?
Machine applied or hand applied ?
If by machine I would say Sonax Perfect Finish. It's a medium, diminishing polish. Made the purple on my car look better than ever.
If you are hand applying, Strjarnagloss Glasyr is a pure glaze that will provide 30-90 days of protection as well.

About to put my shit that was in the basement for the winter back in the garage. Wagoneer gonna get a nice deep cleaning as well.

All the shit on the shelves stayed in the garage thru the winter. But that shit should be okay.

How do you wash that beast in sunlight without parts drying?
Well I normally do it in the morning before the sun comes up. But for days like today. I wash and rinse one panel at a time (2 bucket method). Move on to next panel and as I rinse that panel, I rinse the one behind me again. Basically I keep the whole truck wet at all times. Pull in garage after rinsing the whole truck again. Spray some drying aid and dry it out of the sun.

Nothing better than Southside black man!

Beautiful ?
Me and black vehicles have a love/hate relationship. I love them when they are clean and well maintained, best looking vehicles on the road imo. But they are soooo fucking hard to maintain and keep clean.

Noticed a nice rock chip in my hood already. 12k miles of mostly expressway driving will do that though.

I know your pain.

That's why I went with blue this time.
