And one from the drivers seat......even the wife noticed the difference .....gotta get around to the rest of the truck.....kept putting it off but when I noticed how dull the hood was I just used an old turtle wax paste I've had in garage forever....did pretty good....I imagine a clay bar then a newer formula wax might really make it pop.....but that clay bar seems like a lot of work

This is from the Spring, no detailing going on here this time of year. I tried this Collinite Insulator wax and like it a lot. I did a claybar last year and it wasn't near as bad as I anticipated

is it just me or does your bumper look tipped down a little? looking at the gap between the bumper and filler panel near the front tire.

Yes it is.....was that way when I got maybe that's why it was it was so cheap .....seriously though I didn't really notice it to much but now it bugs me......when it was in for the body repairs recently I asked the guy there about he suggested taking off plastic deflector on bottom of bumper and use a floor jack to lift truck from under the corner of the bumper on both sides....gonna try that and see if it can even it out a little at least
