As far as the g.f excuse... Its not valid. I have two dogs, married, a 7 month old... Building a house, trying to get my current house ready to be rented, torn ACL and meniscus and having surgery Friday. What were you saying about your g.f again? Oh, I even made a signature pic too.
I know I know, I recently divorced myself, still waiting for final court letter, I've been married for 12 years with 2 teenage daughters, 3 dogs one of the great dane, etc, etc, but let me tell you that I had more time when I lived in one place, now I live in 2 places and still have all of the kids/dogs activities with me...
I will def find time to do all this in coming weeks, I'm determined even more now

Awesome.. I look forward to your thread. What color wheels did you end up getting? I feel like these things would be sick in a textured black... No plans to do it, but curious.

Thanks. It needs a good detail... I was hoping to do it before my surgery but it doesn't look like its going to happen. I may drop it off to get detailed this week.

LOL this truck hasn't been wazed at all yet. The place I take to wash it puts a spray wax on it which does actually do a decent job for being a spray on, no wipe application. I'll be doing a full clay bar as soon as my knee permits.

Leave it painted. Instead go get yourself some IND painted reflectors.

Scrap the claybar. If you have a RO or a rotary machine use the Nanoskin Autoscrub pads. I use them with my Flex 3401. They do a better job in half the time. Reserve the clay for the hard to reach areas or spot treatment.
