Took it to church then hit the mud put for few hours. Then took it on home and washed it.

Not bad at all. Just one screw and then some clips to push in. And disconnecting the wiper fluid lines. Took less than 5 minutes.

Thanks. $5 can of Krylon from Ace Hardware is all it took. Just gave it a couple coats and let it dry. Good as new.

Washed it yesterday, but just got it out in the sun and realized how bad the paint on it is swirled. I mean it is awful, way worse then the picture even shows. I have no idea what to do to fix it either..

Not to worry. Porter cable 7424 DA polisher. There is a thread on here about how to detail your truck to showroom condition. Take a peak around. Ill see if I can find it for you. For a few hundred bucks and a couple days of work it'll look like new.

Here ya go. Follow it to the letter and you'll be happy as a kid at Christmas!! Only thing I would do differently is use Collinite 845 instead of the NXT wax. Easier to use and better product IMHO.
