First Wax Job

Just washed and waxed the truck over the weekend. First off, in the sun, this bronze fire is a PITA to wash! It gets so hot and the soap and water dry too fast, leaving it streaked and spotted...even using soft water. Secondly, this thing is huge and tall! Had to get the step ladder out to reach all of the top. But, in the end, it turned out great. Not much sun shining when I finished so the first pics are under the clouds. The sunny pic was taken today. Amazing the different hues bronze fire takes on in different light. I love this color!

On another note, had a 300 mile round trip running 70-75, averaged 19.3 on the entire trip. Pretty pleased with that.

Looks great! Brought out a nice reflection with that colour. Probably took hours with the size of those trucks.

Well done! How many hours did it take you to wax the entire truck?

I don't remember how long it took, and I was visiting with my nephew while doing it, but I think it was just over 2 hours. That's after it was washed and dried. I also waxed my wife's Flex...I think it took under an hour.

I like the Bronze Fire in your pics - the last one and the ones I've seen online show some orange. Mostly it looks dark red with some black like a burgundy color.

How orange is the Bronze Fire color?
