my truck beads pretty good despite it not having a proper wax since i bought it. i guess they must be putting something on them at the factory now.

Collinite is good stuff for longevity. I use a coat before every winter and it lasts. Remember a little of that stuff goes a long way.

Why did Ford discontinue any sort of metallic black paint for the F150 the past few years? Metallic black is one of the best looking when clean!

And when dirty, just looks like a different color, unlike solid black, which just looks dirty.
