I think you are reffering to Protect All Quick & Easy Wash . That thread is an excellent write-up on how to use the stuff. It's supposed to work great, I just don't have a need to for it. You can get it at RV stores.

I think he was talking about the Mr. Clean spray gun thingy... I've been wondering about it myself.

Last Friday it was fricking 75 here!!! You bet your ass I was washing the truck.

I have my own auto detailing business (the reason I got the truck) so how my truck looks reflects my image to my customers, so you can guess how good it always looks (I just waxed it before typing this )

I've gotten used to working in the cold, hey I'm getting payed for it so why not

Most of you guys could benifit from www.autopia.org

I don't think I could ever go for over a week without giving some TLC to my baby I don't know how you guys do it, especially for all you 3rd and 4th gen owners, you should all be ashamed

Trust me, right now they have the 5' look. They look good till you get 5' from them. I need to polish them something horrible. And replace the center cap on the back passenger side because it developed some rust, guess those chinsy caps that MT puts with their wheels aren't quality at all. This wash was just a half ass wash, took me three hours inside and out, but usually when I clean a vehicle it will take me an entire day, if not longer.

OEM Aluminum wheels can stay coated with salt no problem at least I've never had the problem, when you wash them off they look like new, aftermarket wheels the salt just can't wait to eat them, it's weird

OEM wheels are clearcoated. Many aftermarket ones are not. The OEM ones won't shine as nice, but I prefer their durability.

KRASH,that is one nice '90 truck;it makes me warm and fuzzy about my HS days since it reminds me of my friend's '87 Xtra cab when he got it when it was almost brand new.
