Default My baby's first wash...by myself...(pics.)

I used Armorall Wash N' Wax, a hose, a microfiber mitt and a microfiber towel, along with a leaf blower for a blow dry. This is the first time I've washed it by myself...






Sorry for the bad lighting. I wanted to make sure it was cool and shady to avoid sun spots.

Looks great! What do you use to clean your tires?

I just got my 09 about 2 months ago and I want to use the best tire cleaner. The stuff I used on my 2006 F-150 cracked and dried out the tires.

Best tire cleaner for that dark black look rather than the shine look?

Looking nice and clean!!
I dont know how much of a hassel it is to get the leaf blower out but I must say a Shammy (Shamwow, or IMITATOR) works great. I went to Wal-Mart and got one for $7-8 and love it.
