HI @Alpine . Find someone with an old Napoleon grille that they don't put a cover on, and you'll get a good idea.You know way more than me about the cleaning stuff so I'd like to ask a serious question.
What will happen if I don't do jack squat and just drive the thing and run it through a car was once a year? (Cause that's what im kinda leaning toward)
I live in New England (salty winter roads) and wash the truck about 3 to 4 times a year in temperate months. Coming out of the winter, it was your typical dirty, and, additionally had some deposits from the road treatments splashing onto the vehicle.
In late April I rinsed the truck and did a foaming car wash using the two-bucket method and microfiber towels. Truck was mostly clean but had surface contamination spots here and there and on the leading edges of the front fenders.
Then I applied Iron-X, a couple panels at a time, and it got off all but a couple of spots. Used Cerakote on the tires and the truck looked mint from 4 feet away. I had also bought Cyber Brite but decided to wait until after pollen season and a re-wash. Have not gotten to that yet. But I expect that after washing and Cyber Brite, having recently used Iron- X on it, it will look virtually brand new.
One other note. Last year I did Iron-X for the first time and used almost 2/3 of the bottle. This year I was able to do the whole truck with the remainder of the bottle, so either I got more efficient, or the original clean which included rail dust was a more involved process than subsequent ones.
Cheers!
