I was ready to shoot myself at the end !!!!

Decided to clean/wax my 2012 3500HD Dually 8 foot bed.

1. First I power-washed the **** out of it with a soap and rinsed. Then drove home - 30 minutes spent

2. I manually washed it at home again ( Meguiars Hyper Wash), scrubbed the front area with a bug-sponge and rinsed again - 1 hour

3. Dried it out with microfiber towels - 30 minutes with break.

4. Using a Meguiar's Final Inspection 34 and Blue Magic Clay bar and microfiber towels I clay-bar-ed the whole car - I couldn't believe how much crap were still on the car after two back to back washes. ----1.5 hours.

5. Break 1 hour

6. Wax time - Collinite Fleetwax and microfiber - around 2 hours.

the results --- spectacular !!!!. Collinite Fleetwax should be really water resistant.

Wondering how many times can I was the car before re-waxing it again?

 

Any pictures? You can use a paint sealant on top of the wax (let the wax cure for 12 hours) and it will last six months or more.

Like Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 20 Polymer Sealant or Meguiar's M2116 Synthetic Sealant ?

 

Will try my SLK AMG this week end the same way -

Powerwash --> degreaser/wash --> clay --> wax --> seal !!!

 

Pictures or it didn't happen! I used to spend 6 hours a week detailing one of my cars until I had two kids...now it needs it way more but the time isn't there so I pay someone to get it like half way there then take over for the waxing, etc.
