91,

I agree, the Gray is another tough color to give some "POP"! I've gone with 3 X UPP, and then topped with a fine carnauba. You might want to add another coat or two of the UPP, and then top with P21S. If P21S won't make it shine, then nothing will! Most people who have used it, agree that's it arguably the best carnauba on the planet............... as far as shine!

Good luck!

I do a daily bird Shat, sap and road tar inspection. If I find some that day I wash the whole truck. On average I wash once a week, if no birds do target practice.

Why is it that birds always seem to do their business on a freshly washed vehicle. I remember a while back I washed my truck real good. Mext morining when I woke up, I noticed some bird flew over it while it was parked and done his deed. What was worse is that half an inch over and he would have missed, because it hit the bottom of the door window and then slid down the side of the door. I had to scrub pretty good to get all that off, because it had already sat on their for a few hours.

I hate birds.

Mine is going to live outside, but I'm too lazy to keep it clean. Question - will it FIT in a car-wash? (F150 FX4 4x4 Lariat) I had fun in a parking garage with 6'8" clearance the other day. The cement beams kept hitting the antenna and scaring the crap out of me!

Also, would a good application of some kind of wax or sealer help it now (it's new) or is there a factory coating on it already?
