Yeah, my sister is going to get me something >$25, and I'll retaliate, I mean, follow suit. My parents will get me something >$100. They all know I need a new mattress, so that would be a nice surprise.

So now the second queston lol, my dad has a 2005 F350 KR Screw Dually... same stuff on his? He is more of a worker, drivers seats got paint on it, pulls a trailor with equipment, has a 97gallon fuel tank in the bed of his truck lol... He has the cool stuff, but I was thinking of some cool detailing stuff, when he washes his truck he takes like 4 hours... I don't know if this is weird but he uses dishwashing soap on his truck ??? (just read a couple threads between posting- guess i should tell him about Meguiars and Zaino real quick before he ruins his paint job) I was thinking about a total truck detailing kit.

Thanks for the help guys.

I have used both Zaino and Meguiars... Both of them were easy to use and look great. (use Zaino on my mustang and meguiars on my truck) I think Zaino lasts longer but I don't know because my mustang doesn't see bad weather and has a garage spot unlike the truck.

I did get the Zaino detailing kit and like it a lot. Don't waste the money for the kit with the interior stuff as I didn't like their interior stuff... and thought it wasn't worth it

And tell him to stop using dishwashing soap

The handles do come already painted right? I'll have to ask him if he wants chrome on his truck... Maybe i'll get some pictures of my bros and dads truck's so you guys can get a picture of what might look good on them...

What exactly does Dish Soap do to the paint?

Just a re-wax will do it.
