My truck is 6 years old and have lived outside since day 1. This only a wash and dry.

I totally recommend Black Fire Sealant and Carnuba.. Its called Black Fire over Ice. Did it to my truck last month and its by far the best i have ever seen. When you look at the truck it looks like a mirror. Awesome product.

I've heard very good things about the Blackfire products. My current personal favorite LSP is Menzerna Power Lock. It too is a synthetic sealant and it goes on and comes off incredibly easily.

As others have said, on a relatively new truck, you can probably get away with just a wax / sealant. As the truck ages though, no matter how careful you are, you're going to get more and more surface marring. And with any dark color, that marring will be much more visible that it would on a lighter color. (Ask me why I always buy white trucks.)

When you do start to get marring, polishing with an appropriate product, pad and process will bring your paint back to top notch condition. If you need advice on how to do that, visit us in the Detailing forum or PM me.

I second blackfire. I'm using black ice topped with crystal seal. With the proper prep work it's amazing.

I have tried almost everything from Zaino to Mothers. I have found that Adam's products are far superior to anything on the market. Their website is fantastic and has awesome how-to videos.

I also have the Tuxedo black and have used Adams products for years with excellent results.
