Spring Cleaning Time... Let's see those Before/After shots

Just as the title says, it's that time of year again where we break out those old truck and spruce them up for the warm weather that's approaching. With some members fortunate enough to have their first shows of the season just a fond memory, several of us are still waiting for that first show, cruise, or trip to work in a clean 'ol truck.

Let's seem some before and after shot of your trucks, blazers, cars, bikes, etc.

Great updates guys, those things look good!

I hope to do the same on my truck within the next two weeks, and I will post a few pictures when I get a chance.

Re: Spring Cleaning Time... Let's see those Before/After shots

Here are a few I took years ago when I had just gotten it from the previous owner. I spent the better part of a day cleaning it. I used a couple cans of white spray paint, along with some good old fashoned rubbing compound, followed by polishing compound then a coat of wax.
