I want to touch up a couple of scratches first, and my wive has an appointment at 11 so it will have to wait until this afternoon.

I wish I spent the last week in Florida with them, but you win them all. Anyways thanks again for welcoming me and I hope to meet all of you soon.

Morning CT, looks like another nice one. I gotta finish waxing my roof (stupid crew cab) and hit the store to pickup some tire cleaning stuff. Enjoy the day!

Greg I have a Porter Cable polisher that works reel nice.
I polish it about 3-4 times a year but some times I use the Turtle Wax Ice and I like it a lot. It is not a cleaner is is just a wax and it is VERY easy on and off.

A friend of mine turned me onto some Eagle One "nano" wax that works excellent. Easy on and off. In addition Ocean State Job Lots appears to sell them for $3.50 each. How can you go wrong with that. The stuff looks amazing once applied.

hello all. i FINALLY got my truck back yesterday, and was pretty dissapointed. there were runs and oversprays all over the place, one wheelwell wasnt really blended very well, and you could feel the blend lines between the old and new paint. most of the metalwork was excellent, but the paintwork wasnt so well. pics to follow, just figured id give you a heads up.
