Man, it looks fresh dipped!
You know I've never tried the claybar deal. It's been quite a few years since I hand waxed one of mine also. I've gotten in the habit of running through the automatic carwash and paying the extra buck for the wax. Yeah I know it's not the best for the finish but it's better than nothing. ;)

That's about what I did.

I washed it up at my house, hardwater started setting in.

Drove it into town, fed $8 into the washer and sat back :lol:

That's a good looking truck. From your other post I was sure I was gonna see ghetto wheels on it....hats off to you for not ruining a good truck!

PS...I see you have XM....what's the other antenna for?

Onstar

and it's going to get 2/4 or 4/6 on some OEM NNBS 20" wheels

Don't know if you consider those ghetto.

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Nawwww....OEM wheels aren't ghetto by any stretch. These trucks can handle 20's easily. Ghetto is when the wheels are wayyy too big for the truck or car...Ultra Ghetto is the rubber band tire profile to boot.

Well OEM Sierra 20's on 275/55's is what I'm planning on.

Those

That's a 4wd too BTW :D

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

That looks sweet....if I ever got another Sierra for a street runner, I'd definetly think about that setup versus stock.

They look like they might be wider wheels than the stock 7.5's....are they?

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

MB it looks like you have 285/75/16 rubber on yours. I have the same on mine. A touch taller than I am used to but it rides good. The extra sidewall helps that.
How bout yours Kelly? What size?

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

20x8.5 I believe

Yup I have 285's

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

I've got 265/70R17's. I think they ride nicely.....they're Goodyear Wrangler AT/S.

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Im assuming those will fit on any 99 - 07 or on right? Ive always wanted a pair of these, but finding em cheap is gonna be difficult, haha....

Manbearpig (kick ass name btw), is that black or Carbon Metallic?

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Spiral Gray Metallic which is the same as Carbon Metallic

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

my '05 is the same color and i really like it. good job on that clay bar!

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Thanks man

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Okay Manbearpig, since you did such a good job on your ride, I figured I'd break out the trusty Craftsman buffer and get after it with some Meguiar's Swirl Mark remover, followed by a hand applied coat of Meguiar's Gold Class wax... It took me a while and a few margarita's to get it done, but here it is!

btw, wheels are 20x8.5, with 285/50/20 General UHP's.

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

WoW.........Nice looking wax jobs!

Now I have to wax mine tomorrow.

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Nice!

I need to buy me a Porter Cable and get rid of some swirls

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

I have a '03 with 275/55 and oem nnbs 20s I love em.

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

Thats the exact wheel and tire size I'm going to go with

Re: Cleaned up my '04
 

I saw a set of those wheels today at the house we are remodeling....very nice.
