Kmac & Llama, look into this stuff for the rust/iron deposits on your paint.

Thanks Darren, I'll have to check into buying that stuff if the need ever arises. I've only run into the issue a handful of times but that stuff seems to take it off with relative ease it sounds like.

I think I need to get me some of that! Thanks for that, Darren. I'm looking at it on Amazon right now.

Ordered Iron X, Nu Finish (saw my neighbor use this, a 10 year old bottle of it, and it worked awesome), and some wax pads off Amazon last night.

Take some before and after pics when you get it! I'm interested in seeing it in action on a light color truck.

Will do, sir! I'll be using it on Sunday or Tuesday, whichever time allows for. Hell, may even do it this Friday if I wake up early enough. Clay, Iron X, and Nu Finish all together should do well. I hope my iphone is good enough to at least show all the iron spots. Whole dang truck is literally coated in the buggers. My white truck should turn almost completely purple lol.

Definitely sounds like you've got everything it takes to get that sh*t off. Nu Finish=legit. I've been lucky in the time or two I've encountered it and used Meguiars rubbing compound conservatively.

Finally got my windows tinted! CTX15 on the two front windows matches the factory tint on the back nicely. Also got the tails smoked. Really brings the whole black and gray theme together.

Coming soon: Black badges and emblems w/gray lettering, Harley F150 headlights w/black housing and retrofitted projectors with HIDs (if I can afford it)

And heck yeah, my neighbor used the Nu Finish on my door handle like 2 weeks ago and it worked awesome with such little effort.
