2013 update

In Florida for the winter and decided to do some cleaning. Clayed, two coats of wax, trim, tires and glass. Painted the wheel wells with rustoleum bed liner, cleaned the seats and used scotch guard. Not bad for a 5 year old work truck from up north and has seen lots of salt.

Looks really nice!! I did my frame and wheel wells too last year when I did it's once a year cleaning before I put it away to ride my motorcycle. I used to use the high gloss rustoleum, but I like the Bed Liner stuff better... Seems like it has a better compound in it. I used my HVLP sprayer to spray thick coats of it on. This year, I might redo it again, and then give it a shot of high gloss. People like when my frame has an equal shine to the body. I get people asking me to repaint their frames and machinery... but I don't because it really is a time consuming an messy process.

None the less... it looks good!

It gives me motivation to when I do mine this year.
