Ummm...yeah I do, I get good results with it, the deep crystal polish requires a little bit of extra elbow grease, I will probably try something different next time..I love the NXT 2.0. Plus they seem to have more product available around here than other companies.

That looks great! I like Meguiars products too! I like thier quick detailer wipes for the interior because they are not greasy. I also like their Gold Class liquid wax.

The wax I recommend most is Finish First. I haven't found anything better and if any of you have, let me know.

BC: I had the same color of 1994 F150 that I sold to my Nephew a few years back-we also have an original Sales brochure for the '94 F150s and this color combo is on the cover!

That's interesting. I have to admit that it was the color combo that first attracted me to my truck. It was sitting on a lot by my house for months and I would stare at it everyday as I drove by. Not a lot of people seem to share my appreciation for the color scheme though.

looks great. i like the color too. hides scratches and dust

i'm not sure about Meguires "deep crystal" products, but after working as a detailer, there was another company who marketed a product called "diamond crystal" and it was really handy on darker colors for hiding the swirls left behind from buffing. I'm sure Meguires crystal stuff is similar and would be great on darker colored vehicles to hide the swirl marks.

Anyone have experience with Zaino? I used this on my old 95 and nothing else I used would make it look as good.

Nope. I've just tried the regular brand waxes and such. I found that Finish First did such a better job.

I like it, the ride is stiffer, not really rough. It went in really easy, good fit. The only thing that was hard was the alignment.

There are a few in this color combo in my area here in Florida, mostly short bed F150s, a couple of long bed F250s and I've even seen an F350 crew cab dually on the interstate-I love that combo!!

BTW: The paint codes for the two colors are a bit squerelly (sp) and some paint suppliers don't know why.....I'll get the brochure from my Nephew and tell you the names of the paint anyway.

According the to build sheet I got from ford, it is light santa fe clearcoat and a medium polimino accent. So it should just be reversed for you guys. But yeah I love the color combo, and have only seen one other like mine, and a few others like yours.

Well your truck looks amazing. I actually just cleaned mine up yesterday. Me and my dad use the meguiars quick detailer when we dont have time to actually wax it. The interior cleaner we use is F21 turtle wax super protectant. I love the interior cleaner. On the wheels I use eagle one A2Z wheel cleaner. It works like a charm, and I love it. What other products you guys use to detail your trucks? What car wash do you use. When I hand wash my truck it gets gold class meguiars if we have any at the time.
