This is what I do...
1)Wet truck down and get off all loose dirt
2)I start cleaning inside all of the door jams,engine bay, etc.
3)I scrub the tires down so later I can put some shine on them
4)I wash the exterior of the truck. (I only use the "grout sponge(sp?)" that you do tile work with. They dont leave as much swirls,etc. in the paint...
5)I use a shamie to dry.
6)Once dry I will use a detailing spray so get it slick (I clay bar the truck about twice a year)
7)I shine the tires
I take the samie and rinse it out well and then I clean the inside off all windows.
9)rinse the shamie out once more and make sure its almost dry and then I clean the inside of the door jams, engine bay, etc. where I cleaned earlier just to make sure all the residue is gone.
10)If needed I will use back to black on surfaces, detail the dash, vacumm, etc.
It takes me a good 1-2 hours doing a full detail. I always make her happy by keeping her clean and ordering lots of new parts for her so she wont ever decide to turn against me.
