yea, its been a really hot summer, even for us here in the mountains. It has been upper 80's and lower 90's almost everyday. That's the equivalent of the 3rd circle of hell for us mountain folk..lol
looking forward to some cooler fall weather, for sure

Heading out to Raleigh shortly.
The truck is getting a complete detail, it just doesn't look or smell like it's been gone through. And then somebody is supposed to check out the factory stereo. It sounds like a big AM radio

The bronze truck I had when you came out was totalled out a month ago while on vacation in Gatlinburg. Storms came through and three trees broke, and all three landed on that truck.
The truck we bought to replace it needed to be detailed.

I got my truck back this evening after being detailed inside and out. There are some faint stains that did lighten up quite a bit on the interior. But the guy really went to town on the outside.
They wet sand, then went over it with a clay bar, then polished

.
Then after dinner I went over the truck with my Meguires NXT Tech Wax, by hand, and with no alcohol

But after 4 bottles of ice cold water, I'm about to pop a "few" tops.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow.

Y'all have a good evening.
