Haha well I detail the truck pretty much every week, so that's probably got something to do with it

Me likey..

I just hope your rims don't have the weights on the OUTSIDE....I mean damn, you pay $3-400 for a set of rims, and the bozo that putsem on IMMEDIATELY hammers the weights on the outside.....OOOOH THAT PISSES ME OFF.....

When I bought my black rims last year, the exact scenario I just described happened....Except I caught him in mid-swing and promptly told him more than he really cared to listen to about the weight fuggin up the finish....

I wash mine about once a week and detail it about once a month. This works well.

mines not worth detailing or washing or anything, pretty much 99% of the paint is oxidized/peeling/gone/ a combination of those

That's one thing I love about my rims, American Racing Nitro (chrome and $200, each) no lip for the weights on the outside.

My '75 F-100. She served me well, and my family spent many miles with her. I customised the bed for a 'camper' for when we went up to the lake in West Virginia, and all the miles I drove her faithfully.

Hey 9.Ford.5. AWESOME looking ride. Love it. How do those stacks sound coming out of a gasser? I know it's kind of a diesel thing, but I just love the way yours look.

Just wanted to share that I finally dropped my box off at the body shop to get the paint done on it too. It's been over a year in the making, but my truck is finally going to be dent free/the same color again. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post up in a week or two (it's not a top priority project since I need to save some cost).
