Both look great. I need to get either you or Summers to put that shine on mine!
You know, it's actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, just REALLY time consuming. There was a lot of oxidation and old wax built up on the hood especially, so I had to go over that about eight times to get it all off. Not hard, just took several hours to do.

Yessir, except I used the Ultimate Polish instead of the Compound. I didn't feel the paint was messed up enough to need the full cut of a compound, so I didn't want to go too extreme without trying the polish first.

Run me through the wringer, Internet, but how about ditching the chrome handle buckets?
Thank you sir. Regarding the overlays on the taillights and the door handles, that's been hashed out before (below)

Nice truck though

One of these days I'll get around to actually doing it... that will probably be the day I redo the wax, since I imagine that adhesive remover would strip it a little
