Used to be Zaino, but CQ UK 3.0 and the associated CarPro products wins hands down.

Forget Chemical Guys stuff. The Black Light did NOTHING, and their other stuff is expensive without really doing anything greater than what can be had from Walmart.

However, since you would probably be far less inclined to go through all that is needed to coat the truck, then I second using Meguiars wax and detail products.

That does look good, but how long does it last?

I normally use Meguiars Black paste wax. It lasts about three months on the horizontal surfaces. I talked to the tech at Meguiars and he stated that the new ceramic will last twice as long as their Gold Class.

I really don't care because its too, too easy to apply. Just spray it on the wet truck as you towel dry it. Takes no longer than it does to dry it.

I will say the instant ceramic is the absolute slickest finish I've ever experienced. And I've only done the one coat.

Well your dog say's otherwise. That look, what kind of BS are you dishing out now! LOL

No matter what is used, prep is key, and your's looks like it was well prepped.

With the crappy weather we have had, I am lucky to keep my truck looking good for more than a day. It looked great memorial day, then drove to work and it had rained, so the entire sides were dirty by the time I got to work. I washed it Friday, and by the time I got home, covered in dust, then it rained last night on the way home. Man, just can't keep it clean. Oh, and the bugs, front is a bloody mess.
