What are your thoughts of each of the Trifecta? (ie: full description). I am beginning to get really interested in using Strawberry Red and wildberry Blue on the truck... But I want to know more... (and what can I name the white one??? Has to be tasty sounding, even though it doesnt have a smell...)

If you jumped on the DA, what day would it get here? (email)
I don't want to hijack this thread from the poster but since you asked.

I have a second plan on the DA...stay tuned.

As for the the trifecta...the white is simply called Natty's Paste Wax. The original. The blue smells like bubble gum and the LE Red is as you know....yummy.

Pics were taken just after I clayed, Klasse AIO, Menzerna Intensive Polish, PB EX-P topped with P21s. I use Duragloss Aqua Wax every 2 weeks to keep it looking nice. Aqua Wax is one of my favs. Great stuff. The entire Poor Boys line is good too. I have the Nattys white, blue, ex-p and ssr 1, 2, 2.5, and 3.

Any report on the way each of the trifecta went on, came off, looked, hid swirls, looks, etc???

Any tips on keeping a new white one looking good? Truck was built in June,I bought it mid July so it didn't sit around very long. Truck was waxed b4 delivery with Castle Bright Knight. I waxed it today using Megs Gold Class.

On a different note-What is wrong with Ford paint? Man the orange peel is so bad on this truck the bugs trip!! My '05 sonic blue Ranger had huge runs(waterfalls) on the inside of the box. Common? Or did I get the only 2 bad ones?

2 things:
1. Email me for the sticky
2. Welcome to the Orange Peel Club!!! Some are worse than others, but these trucks definately have some OP...

Huh? on the inside of the box? Meaning...inside the bed of the truck? If so who cares...spray in liner takes care of that.

As for the standard option that Ford provides on Orange Peel...get used to that...even the Rovers have it.

Wow RollinRock, thanks for the compliments. I haven't been on this site for awhile but thought I would check in and I find this thread. Although, I really like the products I used back then, but like all of us, we all move on and experiment with different products. I've been using some Optimum Polish and Compound with really nice results as they give an enormous amount of work time with the PC. I also went away from the PB EX-P and have been using UPP, which is one of the slickest sealants I have ever used. Currently I'm using some Duragloss product and have found their Aquawax to be an awesome product as it goes on like a QD and gives a shine second to none with outstanding slickness. It's also suppose to be very durable and it seems to be holding true to that. I have recently purchased their 105 but I haven't used it on the Navigator yet. Said to be similar to Zaino and will give about 6 month protection. All my cars will get a layer of that before winter sets in. Two products I still use is Clearkote's Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze and also their Quickshine QD. Both excellent products in my book.

Everyone knows that no matter what you do, a white truck will not brilliantly shine with depth as those trucks with darker paint.To make a white truck stand out, dressing up your bumper plastic, window moldings, and tires is KEY. Doing this enhances the overall contrast to your truck thus making your paint "pop."
