Talking Meguiar's Saved my Truck!

Just wanted to pass along my experience Meguiar's Ultimate 3 Step Paint restore. Purchased this truck which im sure has not been washed or waxed in 10 years. Farmer had it. I searched and searched for something that would restore the look of my 88 F150 Paint! Contacted BLDTruth and ended up choosing Meguiar's Ultimate 3-Step which is Ultimate Compound (Applied by hand) Meguiar's Ultimate Polish (Applied by hand) And then a Wax of your choice. I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. I have attached some before and after pictures! Hope this helps anyone looking achieve these results! Now I have to figure out what to do next? :-)

Looks great!!! I use Meguiar's cleaner wax on my truck once a year. On my Mustang and my wife's Edge i use Turtle liquid ice because we wax them every two months or so

Looks great, too bad paint these days is so thin and 20 or 30 years down the road that story wont happen with this year's new truck.

That is a testament for sure. Red is the worst color for fade and oxidation. Those results are crazy good. Great looking truck.
