Well guys, everythings arrived and I'm now ready to attempt to clean up my truck. I'll be posting pics of the progress, but I probably won't get a chance to start until this weekend.

I've got a pretty good idea of where I'm going with all this, plus I got 2 DVDs of 'how-to' with my gear, but if anyone has any tips or suggestions, please feel free to give me your $0.02!

Here's all the gear I've got...

Here's what the VRT (vinyl, rubber and tire) treatment can do
Right side dirty, left side treated. And no, that's not wax or anything on the right...

That original post was from 2008. The grille and overlays are old too.

I'm on my iPhone and don't feel like seating for the more recent details right now.

looks to be a older premium kit... i see a lot of the older "square" bottles, and 1st gen pads.

Yeah it was something like that, I've added on since then, including the newer pad sets.

"Square" bottles?

I think he's referring to the top of the bottles, the older ones were kind of flat and squared off as opposed to the tapered round top of the new ones. I had to go look again cause I didn't remember seeing square bottles either.:lol:
