Thanks! No, I actually just used some RainX Fastwax. I'm way too limited on time to do a real wax job! Unless it gets pretty oxidized though, this stuff should continue to work great.

Here's a better view of last year's RainX Fastwax shine I put on it.

Looks nice especially for black. Also just cleaned my truck today, I also like that interior shoot looks straight from the brochure....

That Rain-X Fast Wax is a quality product. I use it all the time and I think it does a great job when I'm in a hurry.

I was really close to ordering my truck in arizona beige, like yours...but when I saw the dealer demo they had in black/tan...I couldn't resist. Black sucks to keep clean and it's very unforgiving...but man does it shine when it's clean!

Most point-n-shoot cameras can take very wide angle shots like I did on the interior...they just aren't as easy to use for this sort of thing because lighting is just about everything. If a point-n-shoot camera doesn't have good lighting, they're bad about blurring unless you use the flash...then of course the flash sort of ruins the picture sometimes. My shot was with a flash, but I can dial it down to reduce it's output to give just enough light to fill in the dark spots.

its actually sandstone, but i'm sure its close to arizona beige. When i bought mine they had a black on black leather, i just thought it would be a pain to keep clean with the dark interior. I have to agree when black is clean it looks like wet paint....

Oh ok. I guess that's a new color. I was hoping they had silver metalic for Lariats in 2004, but no luck.

Also washed up my wife's car...



And my daily driver (saves on gas!)...

Thanks. The in-law's hooked me up on the Monte Carlo. They were giving it to me for $500...but might get it free now. I had to spend almot $800 on a fuel pump replacement while on vacation Gatlinburg, TN. Dealer fuel pump assembly was $550! Add labor and fuel pump. I looked online later and it's still expensive at parts dealers...$350 for the assembly from Advance Auto Parts
