Official Delmonico Red thread

That's what I'm affraid of. I don't want to have to deal with that sort of thing. With purchases at my dealer, they give you free washes for the life of the vehicle but the convenient location has brushes. The inconvenient location is brush-less so at least I have that option. Nothing better than a good ol hand wash though.

My dealer gives you 1 car wash a week for life. But they will never see me go trough it. Do you have any laser washes in your area?

Not sure what a laser wash is but I doubt it. I'm in Idaho after all. People don't care about their vehicles as much as other places I have lived.

Laser is Touchless wash, just sprays you car nothing rubbing..

Just a touchless wash. They use high pressure water and soap.

If that's the case then yeah, I have a couple of those around. Thanks for the input!

They don’t do the best job, some are better than others, but it helps on those cold days when you can’t wash yourself. I try to use those and then when we get high 30s and 40s here in upstate ny I’ll hand wash.

From my recent Arizona trip

Just used a touchless over the weekend and it left a horrible black greasy layer of the entire truck. To get it off, I hand washed it (in 28 degree weather) with McGuires car shampoo and conditioner all of the grease is now gone. Honestly, the grease was so bad, after a single swipe on the paint it looked like my tire shine rag. It was nasty.
I guess hand washing from here on out. It wasn't horrible in the freezing as I filled my water bucket with hot water and warmed my hands periodically. The hose nozzle kept freezing so I had to leave that in the bucket when I wasn't using it.
Now that it's clean, hopefully I can just rinse it off every few days in the garage to avoid the frost bite.

Sweet Ride! I'm jealous you have both a gas AND brake pedal.

Delmonico getting some work done... Air suspension was definitely being tested, it had to be around 2000 lbs, I got the message in the dash that I had to reduce payload for the air suspension to be able to raise or lower. It brought home two of those pallets, one at a time.

View attachment 10140 Love this color

What size are them wheels and tires? They look great. Did you have a lift installed? What brand wheels? Functional beadlocks, or just cosmetic (which is what I’m looking for).

Careful. 2000lbs is exceeding the payload limit.

Yep.. Only had a 5 minute ride, so wasn't to worried, it handled it perfectly.

Finally got my truck polished and ceramic coated. Man, does that color pop. I need to take some better pictures but here is a quicky.

 

[Fornstar]
