Pretty clean looking install.

 

Thanks!

Nice install!

I took pics of what I did to the truck today but they don't do it justice (might be a good reason to get a DSLR cam!). Clay barred the truck and followed it up with a synthetic wax and a top coat of carnuba. What a difference it made, surface is like glass now. My arms feel like they're going to fall off...

 

Thanks!

I'm waiting for the new paint to fully cure before I break out the wax... My arms get tired just thinking about it! LOL

 

I hear ya. I had alot of overspray from the idiots that did the "undercoating" (I use the term loosely as I got alot of overspray on the paint) plus I could feel the contaminates everytime I washed it. Couldn't believe how trashed the clay was immediately after washing the truck. Definitely a big difference in the feel of the surface, we'll see how it does tomorrow in the rain.

 

I was going to comment on this earlier, but I am glad I waited...now this picture is on this new page!

 

haha.. no doubt. those clay bars are a beautiful thing.

 

and a very nice install indeed. I like the option of SD,USB, or line in that unit gives.

 

So how long did that take? I don't think I'd ever have the time to do it in one day, and since my truck isn't garaged (too tall) I doubt spreading it out over days would be a good idea. Would love to do it though!

And thanks for the comments on the pic guys!

 

Thanks! I went out and picked up a 32 GB SDHC card... Put all my music on it... works great!

 

I'm an outside parker too, truck fits in my garage but my trailer and atv's are on my side of the garage. It took 5 hours from start to finish (wash, clay bar, synthetic wax, carnuba wax). I had to prepare the wife for this one, just told her to send the kids outside when they started getting restless. Nothing like having a 3yo and 1yo "helping" detail the truck. My older to boys (13/11) wanted nothing to do with the process, can't say I blame 'em.

I used a Meguire's clay bar kit found at Autozone, then bought the following from Autogeek:

DG-105 - Duragloss Total Performance Polish (TPP) (sythentic wax)
CO-845 - Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 16oz. (carnuba wax)
GG-1010BL - The Grit Guard Insert - Black (guard to go in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket to keep dirt/rocks at the bottom and not in my wash brush)

 

Looks good. Does the Sync still work with that new radio? Does that one have satellite built into it too?

 

Thanks.

No more Sync... You can buy an adapter that allows you to retain your Sync:

Pac-Audio.com Product Details | iPod Integration for your car and More by Pac-Audio - Connecting you to the future

But at $250 I decided to to just give up the Sync... Can always add it later...

The new Pioneer does not have SAT built in... I am however thinking about adding it... you can add either a Sirius or XM tuner. XM keeps telling me they want me back! LOL

 

Will have to look into that. I love the Sync and use it everyday. I also paid for the satellite radio for my truck. I don't listen to anything else, not even for sports. I have one in every car and my work truck and going to put one in the new camper. I also see they have items to retain the steering wheel controls too.

 

I did add the adapter for the steering wheel controls.... Was like $60 or $70...
