It's that time again

[ford_truck_guy]

It's that time of the year to get my own, personal "honey do" list done ~

Front cap, rear cap done..... curb side top half is done, street side bottom half is done...

I work against the sun, mornings I do street side as that faces west, and evenings I do the curb side..

I washed & waxed mine about 10 days ago.... by hand....no buffer! It is a chore...but now done until we put her to bed...although I wax the front cap after each trip.

I do need to get that ladder & plank setup.

basic articulating gorilla ladders from big box store, and I cannot remember where I got the extending aluminum plank....

I too like to use spray on but try to get 1 good coat of paste/liquid wax on early each year.. I will follow this up with regular washing and using Wash Wax All when needed..

Hey Buddy...looks like yur gettin ur done! Lookin good, and from the equipment, it's not your first rodeo for sure.

I've always worked off a step ladder, and just using hand held pads and towels. Using scaffolding would be a huge step up for me.

While you have a lot of surface to clean/wax, I think the body paint is easier to do than gelcoat. Are you using an orbital, rather than rotary polisher? I bought a new rotary polisher, with wool bonnet last Fall, so will give it a try next month. My driver side gets a lot of sun, parked on my concrete pad at home, so hoping to bring more shine back to the high gloss gel on that side.

I'm going to use Meguiar's one step 67, that worked well on the front cap, a couple years ago. I followed with NuFinish polish.

Hey Jerry, I use a orbital buffer with an application pad. I take everything off by hand and then go over to second time with a clean towel.

I knew there was something I was needing to do. Thanks for the reminder FTG but with both knees being replaced this year I'm not sure I want to be climbing ladders. I may have to hire it done this year.
