Default Quick DIY detailing over the weekend

The truck has been sitting outside for a year with nothing done to it except touchless car wash every week or so. This weekend I've decided to wash off all the grime that got accumulated during the year which automatic car wash is no longer able to get off. So I've got a bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere and did the whole car. My wife was helping me and it works very well with two persons -- while one is washing the other one is wiping down. I liked the product since it washes and leaves some wax protection behind. And since we were at it I've also applied Meguiar's Endurance Tire Spray.

Hope you guys will like the end result:

Nice, I use the Ultimate polish/wax on mine. I always wash mine by hand and use Meguiars gold class wash. I've seen the ultimate wash and wax, but never tried it.
