Buddy has a cool kid

My buddy's kid was cleaning their garage (he's 13 and a neat freak), and he came across an old bottle of Meguiar's "Ruff Rider Extra Tough Truck Wax". It's in a black bottle, and was probably produced like 10 years ago.

That's not the cool part....he noticed that the label on the bottle had a 79 Ford truck in the picture (when Meguiar's put pictures on their product labels), and decided he wanted me to have it because of my truck, Buford. Is that a cool kid, or what?

I have no idea if the product is any good, but I don't care as I'll not use it. I just think it's cool that the label has a 79 on it, and that my buddy's kid thought about it at the time.

That is a cool kid, and thoughtful as well. I don't find many kids these days would even be able to determine what a 79 F-Series was/is...much less have the common courtesy to associate it with someone they know and give it to them.

Actually, he's had his own truck since he was 8....it's a 69 F100 with a 360ci that's a bit rat rodded out. He's been learning as he goes, and does a lot of his own research. Actually, this kid bleeds Ford blue, as his bedroom is covered in Ford models, hubcaps, posters, parts, books, sales brochures, etc. He's got the sickness bad!

As for a picture of the bottle, here ya go, but be warned, .....the truck in FRONT of the 79 is a Toyota....lol

Look at the ingredients, if silicone is one of them, do not use this type of wax on Clear Coat paint...after a coupla applications it'll begin to strip the Clear Coat off.

...a 1983 Toyota with a 22R.

Another random tidbit... I was surfing the channels and caught an episode of Dukes of Hazzard.. Uncle Jessie drove a white 2WD SB dentside.

Cool kid!... Evidently Fords are indelibly printed in his DNA.

Never planned on using it in the first place, but thanks for the heads up!
