    As some of you might recall, the paint on my truck looked atrocious. You could see the stickers from the company the truck was owned by, had alot of scratches and was just not good looking...So i took a couple hours yesterday and compounded and waxed my truck for the first time since i bought it. Alot of it came out really good! but other spots are beyond saving with out a respray.

    that looks damn good man, it's amazing what compound can do!
     
  10. Agreed. Now use some Meguiar's Gold Class wax and you'll be set for a while

    Have you ever tried a good claybar? I've found that useful when removing residue left from longtime stickers on cars. Like company logo's and stuff. It's not instant but it does reduce it quite a bit with some elbow grease.

    This is the truth my friend..

    Also I like how your truck is like the older version of mine =)
    And by older version of mine I mean its single cab, bigger tires, and has rollbar.. I want the toolbox you have, but in diamond plate!!!
