Wash and wax review
I bought this for our center console and was amazing the shine it added to the outboard.
Tried it on the ‘70 C10 today. Crazy the sheen afterwards. Paint feels like it was clay barred, or buffed then waxed.

Re: Wash and wax review
Mother's, Meguiars, and 3m make the best car care stuff there is...from paint buffing/waxing to metal polishes.
Your truck's shine is awesome!

Re: Wash and wax review
Never seen a finish quite like that before, it's like it was sprayed with a clear coat. Good to know.
Not sure what I'm using on the C10 yet, but I'll probably run with POLYMER II paint sealant first time out. Served me well 30 years now.

Re: Wash and wax review
I do keep her clean and waxed but this stuff definitely enhanced the finish quiet a bit.

Re: Wash and wax review
I just ordered the 32oz jug of it. I'll try it and see how it does.

Re: Wash and wax review
I did the restoration in 2017. Used DuPont Nasson paint. Not terribly expensive but was very easy to spray and work with. Personally I thought it was much better than PPG shop line.

Re: Wash and wax review
Honostly I was wash my truck too often. So now that it get some wax with every wash I won’t be able to tell ya how long it lasts long term. But that’s the whole point I guess
