A little shaving and a lot of cleaning and waxing...

 

Spent about 9 hours shaving, washing, claying and waxing twice. The paint is as smooth as silk.

I finally broke down yesterday and washed and waxed my truck yesterday. It had been a while and it was time for a bath.

 

I have this wax that is the best I have ever used. It is called La Cera Amarilla.

 

 

La Cera Amarilla. Long lasting Teflon fortified carnauba wax formula. Crystal clear "shine" every time! 12 qts. per case $15.65

/qt. http://www.empirechemicalsales.com/cat-waxes.html

 

It takes off most of the bugs and the tar. It is a liquid that goes on easy and comes off so much easier than anything I have ever tried, and there is very little dist while wiping it off. After waxing, the soothness of the paint is incredible and the water shed is a beautiful sight as well. When I get finished waxing with this stuff my truck looks like the day I brought it home.

 

I am not a dealer for this stuff. I got a few bottles from my neighbor who used to sell this wax. I am not sure how much it will be to have it shipped to you from a dealer, but it is worth a try. I will never use anything else. I am done with those damn pastes, and how hard it is to wipe off the wax.

 

If anyone lives near eastern PA I can get you some bottles if you want them, but as for the rest of the country you might have to do some research and asking around to find this stuff.

 

If you are tired of the hard to use waxes, I suggest giving this stuff a try.

Looks great!

 

I gotta find the energy to clean my truck like that.

 

It took me four months to get the energy to do it, but I must say that the outcome was worth it! :seeya:

 

Looks great but you missed a few spots. There's some nasty gold shit on your tailgate and some silver and red crap on your doors. :(

 

:uhoh:

 

I had a feeling that you were going to say that, daddy. But the bowtie looks so good on the white tailgate IMHO. I like my VortecMax emblem too. Hey Jeff, if you stand up for me on the VortecMax emblem, I'll get 18's instead of 20's. :cheers:

Jeff's removing his as soon as the '09's hit the street. Don't let him fool ya!

 

As for the bowtie, at least swap them out with billet ones or billet in the rear and color-matched up front.

 

As for the 18's, well... Jeff sucks. :(

Never fear Tobias, I see Jeff's hairline creeping back, in that picture! Then what will he look like? :D

 

Scott, truck looks great, emblems are fine! BUY 20s :D

Mmmm, billet. I like your idea.

Maybe I'll compromise and get 19's then everyone will be happy?? :( What's that? They don't make 19's for trucks. Doh!

:lol::lol::lol: Yeah, right!!! You wanna know how I know when it's time to get a haircut? When I can no longer touch my scalp with the bristles of my hairbrush. Combs? haha, I haven't used a comb since I was 10 yrs old....ever try combing a Brillo Pad? :lol::lol::lol: And I am not talking about those molded brushes most people use nowadays, I am talking about a REAL hairbrush. My hairline hasn't budged, and I am guessing it never will. :D

 

Can you hide a pencil in your hair? I can (when it get's long/thick enough) and it will stay there on it's own too. :lol:
