Thanks. I got all the other stuff, been using Megs Ultimate Paste, and I love it. It only last about 1 - 2 months depending on how bad the road dirt and over spray is. During cane season I give up on it, it only makes it about 2 - 3 weeks.

I need something very long term, I can't take Waxing my truck every Month. Uggggh, my age is catching up to before it is supposed to.

Love the make over Rnlcomp, like the look of the tail lights need to do that to mine sometime, but today we went down to the dealership and got my DRL turned on & also set up a appointment to replace the sirus antenna. Just started losing satellite signal a week ago.

Just make sure the surface is clean because what ever it looks like will get sealed in. Made the mistake of thinking it was like regular wax and just buff out a water stain, instead it sealed it in.


So now I have water streak from the driver side F150 XLT badge down a few inches, it's not that noticeable but I know it's there and it bugs me every time I look at it.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna wash it with dawn, meguires scratchx on a couple of little scratches, clay bar it and the wash with just water and then seal it. Hopefully this weekend if the sealer gets here. I know I got a couple of hard water spots from my sprinklers hitting it this summer that are fighting me a little so I don't want to seal those in for sure.

they just plug in a laptop and hit exterior lighting then turn on the DRL, they did not charge me anything but I know a couple of the tech's there. Takes about 5 mins or less with the right laptop. LOL call the dealer you bought yours from and ask them for a price to do it , bet they say swing in and we will do it for free
