Hey men I've owned my 72 c10 for a couple of years, washed it a few times paint work has always been dull didnt even think it was the original color but the other day I really scrubbed the paint with a heavy brush and truck wash and i lost around 40 years of surface grime then give it a quick polish with some turtle wax and i was blown away with results, first picture was before the others were after

That looks really good. Check out some posts by 73737373. He has a method of buffing out original paint that is simple and looks fantastic.

That's why single stage paint is the BOMB! Try that 40 years from now with today's base clear! Great work!
