This year I decided it was time to treat my paint job to something nice. After washing it once a year, and letting the rain and dust do the work for the rest of the time, I decided it was time. The paint still actually shines after 6 years though. I used Mequirs, and I know I didnt spell it right. I used the clay bar, and the wax from them.
Good luck with your truck Sean

Thought I would bring this thread back to life since spring is pretty much here.
I usually keep my truck really clean and wash it a few times a month. Hand wax 1 or 2 times a year so I have never had to bring my paint back to life. However my brother and a friend of mine don't take good care of their paint and after a few years looked pretty bad. A local body shop charged about $70 to buff it and it looked amazing. This was not a detail but just to buff the paint. Took out the swirl marks and Texas pin striping.
Sorry for giving this thread life but I am awake at 7 on a Saturday morning for no reason.

Your Truck looks like mine in your Avatar..
I need to buff mine and wax it before summer kicks in around here.
Do you have a buffer? I have been meaning to buy one but never felt like spending the $$ on something I would only use once a year at best. I vote we go in halves on a decent one.
