I am willing to submit a pic, I think now I have my truck to a point where I
would like people to actually notice it.... I just spent 2.5 hours applying
the 2 first steps of the mcguires stuff to the right side of the truck... I
have plenty more to go pluss a coat of wax. Trying to get it ready for
Cruzin OC thie weekend. The paint is 2 years old and needed some TLC. Not
scratched at all, just a little build up of road grime that regular washing
doesnt ever take off. That and a lot of water spots. In the link below
you can see it, and compared to now, it looks like absolute Hell!!!!
