My truck is so shiny because of the new paint job and all the coats of clear. For in between a good hand wax my husband had me buy Griots Spray on Wax. He swears by that stuff. I found it at my local autozone and alittle goes a long ways with a microfiber rag. And a pkg of microfiber rags was ALOT cheaper at walmart than the parts store.

I ended up getting them at Summit Racing. They were offering a coupon code for a % off the total and of course free shipping.

No waxing in between clear coats. I meant I bought some for future use when I don't have alot of time for a hand wax.

Took this pic of my truck last night! I LOVE IT!! I drove it to the end of my road and back....yes no bed and no tail lights lol. My window weather strip (inner and outers for all 4 doors) will be here today from Bronco Graveyard. I ordered a Skyjacker steering stabilizer yesterday and I just placed my order for a Redhead steering gear box ($401.00 but $100.00 is the core). We are taking the bed into our shop this afternoon to get started on it. There are some minor dings and blemishes to fix before it can be painted. In a lot of ways I feel like we are getting close to be finished but then reality sets in and I realize there is so much more to do! I have the last week of July off and I am hoping my truck is road ready because I have several day road trips planned for the Cream Puff.
