My trucks are my babies so i go out of my way when it comes to taking care of them, ive used that turtle wax ice liquid polish before, kinda pricey tho but that looked awesome for about a week, now i use the Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Plus, that works for me. Ive found that any thing that has carnauba in it works best, atleast for me anyways

I was given a chance to use Mother's SynWax on my F150. I think it works really well. Went on easily, and more importantly came off easily with little elbow grease, and no streaking. The product I was given came with an applicator pad in the cap of the packaging which is washable/reusable.
In between waxes (about every 3 washes) I use a quick wax spray that is just a simple wipe on, wipe off (no hazing needed) to keep the shine.

I have used the Meguiars Gold Class on previous vehicles and it seems to work well.
I have been looking into this subject as well not only for the new truck but also for the new trailer and there is a product called Rejex that is supposed to create a nice deep shine, and makes cleaning a lot easier. Is anyone here familiar with this stuff?

Paint Sealant and Wax -
The drawback of carnauba waxes is that it does not last as long as a synthetic sealant. A carnauba car wax finish will wear off in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. It depends heavily on the climate in which you live and whether or not your vehicle is garaged. Daily commutes in a hot, humid climate mean a shorter life span for your carnauba wax coat.
Coat your vehicles with a layer of sealant for long-lasting protection and then top it with a layer of carnauba for the dazzling shine. Even if you forget to reapply carnauba in 6 weeks, your paint won’t suffer.

I've tried 'em all but really like .. Captain Richard's Best (used to be called The BOM) .. initially bought for use on a bike, now use on my cars, truck, and boat; not cheap but goes a long way and easy to use ........... spray on a damp cloth, wipe on, and wipe off with a micro-fiber cloth, no residue left behind and I always get asked why is the truck so shiny.

I am another user of turtle wax ICE. In the past, I used a synthetic motorcycle wax called Cycle Finish on both the bike and the trucks and it was great..... Just found the website and will be getting some more to try. Cycle Finish Home

Zaino for me too. Any word on wheel polish? Does that Mothers power ball work good? One thing I have been focusing on is the leather seats, use Lexol cleaner with water. Then hit it with the lexol condtioner. Look great.
