I just finished doing the Pelucid/ Spar Urethane routine (see Mar-Ktek links above)on my new bed wood. I put on three coats of each. It took two quarts of Pelucid(best deal was on E-Bay), and a little over a quart of the Spar Urethane. I'm quite happy with the looks of it. However, as I'm at least 7 months from driving the truck, only time will tell if this is the way to go.
