I was going to follow up with #9 but decided I was already happy with the results and the time wasn't going to allow. Following the removal of the #80 which seemed to come off a lot harder than I wanted, I applied a coat of #26 which is amazing. It goes off and on like a dream, I was amazed at the results. Of course, I hit up all of the exterior trim with Meguiars Exterior Trim Detailer, NXT Tire Tire shine on the tires, followed by a diluted mix of various tire shines to the fenders, frame, rear axle etc. I know my truck hasn't looked this good in a long time, its just a shame that its going to rain later today more than likely.

Hmm, it does look like a sunny day today, but that's how they all start. By mid-afternoon, you're wondering where all the rain came from.

Forcast says rain

Very nice looking truck, BTW.
