It would be extremely hard to believe your truck has anything more than 10 thousand miles on it. Its immaculate. My truck is worse than this one and its less than a year old. You sir, have a gift. Also the best stance I think Ive seen on a truck.

Thanks guys, I completely agree. It's funny too, but you know what I get the most from those silly guys in the wheel & tire section...need to throw some 35's on there!! Ummmm, no thank you. I know how to make my own decisions on tires! 35's may fit on my truck, but they definitely would not "fit" on my truck! Especially on 16" rims. Too much sidewall IMO. I hate it when guys just want to cram the biggest thing they can get on there and not considering how the total package will work, but to each his own...I'm not hate'n!

Thanks again everyone for the support and comments...I do sincerely appreciate it.

Good work, truck looks like a show truck. As mentioned before it looks like it has 20k instead of 120k.

Hey Galaxy - truck looks awesome! Love those white trucks. Just started cleaning mine up on Sunday. Did the tail gate & hood in the basement - little bit cooler down there than outside. Have the Cervini ram air on for a test fit. Want to get it finished up before I have the Cervini painted. What did you use in your wheel wells?

Hey Truckguy 24, try some Poorboy's SSR 2.5 followed by SSR 1, to get rid of the holograms. You can follow that up with ProPolish, EXP & Natty's Blue.

Galaxy, your truck is really nice man. Everything flows together really well!!! I think you should put up some more pictures of your truck on your profile so we all can check it out more.

I think you meant my brother FordGuy 24... but I am interested in trying out some poor boys after I do some work with Meg's 105 and 205

The only thing I've ever heard of some pro's using behind the 205 is PO85RD. They say it jewels the paint just a bit more and adds that final touch...but I can tell you after doing my vehicles and motorcycles, I can't see how you can follow up and get any refinement on top of 205. It's about as refined as I've seen.

I just meant other correction work, like after I do the truck in 105 and 205, the next time I need to do correction, experiment with another line like PoorBoy's or Adams As you correctly mentioned, 205 removes the imperfections/marring that you cause with 105

Nothing. They're just that clean. I scrub down the entire undercarriage every so often with a mixture of my normal car wash soap and simple green and a long handled brush. After doing that, I'll spray everything down with one of those all in one tire foams...the ones that clean and shines at the same time. In these photos here, nothing was done to the wheel wells or frame. They just happened to be clean still from the last go around.

One other bit of contention I'm proud of is at 8+ years and 120,000 miles, the frame, fender wells, axles, nothing has been painted. It is all maintained from original.

Your truck is SO damn clean man. Have you painted the rubber window trim at all? Mine is super faded from the California sun.

Aerospace 303 Protectant works well also.

I don't know how I missed this thread....... The trucks looking good, great job on the detail there is a lot of talent in getting white to pop and look dripping wet like that.
