Yea, your weather has been so much better than ours as of late!

When I landed in Atlanta this past Monday, it was all of 21 degrees!

Im around Keller usually about a weekend out of the month. My sister in law lives in Saginaw and we always drive up to see her. That would be great to get some professional hands on advice. What happened was when i first got the truck i washed and waxed it every weekend and it was almost in perfect condition paint wise. well we live on a dirt driveway and i would spend hours detailing it and come out a hour later and it was covered in dust, also have alot of stray cats that like to track there muddy paws on my clean paint so needless to say i got to where i didnt clean it as much and would run it threw the car washes . After i saw the swirls that the car wash made it wants me to start getting the truck back to the way it should be and keep it that away, even if i have to quick detail it everyday.

KRC....orange has a place but I gotta tell you...I used to jump to the yellow lake and orange like it was crack...however, there is always a time and place for each pad. 

I feel 200% more comfortable with a Lake PFW pad over an orange.

I know you have new stuff and you must be wanting to jump right in and give it a shot, but hold off if you can, lets have a look at the paint condition befor diving in. 

BTW, you are not too far from me in Keller TX....do you find yourself this way?   If so I would be more than willing to give it a look and or go at it with you.

Well I'd say this is working out.....when is the next time you are gonna be around Saginaw? 

I am about 25 min or so away. 

would like to look at it...then you and I could hit it together, maybe we can get Attworth to show up and we'll get it done really quick.  LOL

I'm game. Just give me a call man. I'll bring my own PC, then we've got 5 machines to choose from.

Alright experts decided to order some sealant which is better(easier to use with great results) ex-p or optiseal. Gonna order some today. Hopefully that will be the last thing i need to get cause im going to be hearing it from the wife if i dont stop getting stuff for the truck 

[Robby32]

As I mentioned earlier I use Opti-Seal and really like it. Goes on easy - if you get too much on just a quick wipe with a microfiber takes care of it. I does enhance the shine and depth.
I was skeptical of it a year ago as I was strictly a Meg. guy but have found (though the forum) lots of great stuff out there. I have no experience with ex-p you are looking at.

[kingranchcoy]

LOL well i didnt check back soon enough and went ahead and ordered the poorboys sealant from Specialty Motoring since they are the closet to me,

Let me (the forum) know how it works for you.

[Kitzy]

It's a little late but as far as easiest to use, Opti Seal couldn't be any easier unless it applied itself.  I think you'll be happy with the Ex-P though.  Poorboy's products are very easy to use.

[Rollingrock]

EX-P is very good, you will be happy with how it works...once you have your surface corrected you will want ot apply by hand since you don't have any finish pads

A GREAT pad to apply this with your DA would be a Lake Blue or Red...Red.    EX-P does need to set on the surface for 30 min...Steve may jump in and correct us on his products since well...he makes them in all.  :) 

The durability of EX-P is very good.

[Kitzy]

He did state he has a red pad, RR.

yeah reading comprehension, not my strongest...

[attworth]

 usually let it sit while I do the interior. Bout an hour in most cases.
