Polished and waxed my truck today *pics*

It was 80 degrees and sunny today so I figured it would be a great time to clean my truck. I used Merzerna Final Polish II, Klasse AIO and P21s. I think it came out pretty good.

nice, they look good. how do you like them? also how much did you have to pay for the tailgate holes to be welded and painted from the old emblem? sorry for all the questions, just took my tailgate emblem off today.

My truck was rear ended so I got a new tailgate out of it and I just asked the body shop to fill in the holes.

Thanks everyone. Its hard to take a good picture that really shows off white. I took some in full sun and the white was so bright that you couldnt really see the shine. Also, I'm not sure if I like my Porter Cable for polishing. It takes too long to break down the polish and remove defects. I might step up to the Flex Polisher or get a Rotary. It works great for AIO and LSP's though.

f-150sport03- I got another bottle of Opti-Seal the other day. Let me know if you still want to try it out. Excel Detail had a special last week ONR, Opti-Seal and a MF Mitt for $29. OS alone costs $25 so it was a pretty good deal.

Hmmm... That sounds like a pretty good deal... (Now I gotta figure out how to afford it)

I might just take you up on that offer... I have a sampler of their spray wax, but not of the spray sealant (although the spray wax has both carnaubas and polymers in it)... we can figure this out sometime soon, but I will be pretty busy until around New years...
