Nice job. Did you wax only or buff with a cleaner first?

You use your hand or a buffer? That's a nice shine, could even see your receding hairline.

Man,
If you don't have a polisher now, invest in one. Cleaning and waxing this beast in one day will take a toll on your rotator cuffs. I was able to do this about four times before my arms just said "No More!" aloha, Derrick |

I just washed it with Meguiar's soap, then waxed it by hand. Took me about 3 hours, including wash and dry time. Yes, I will be purchasing an electric buffer soon! My wife likes the shine so well that she wants me to do her Suburban next!
I was waiting for someone to mention the receding hairline. Over the last couple of years, I've decided that bald is definitely looking more and more sexy!

Most waxes recommend hand-application, so if you're just one to wash and wax it may not be worth your money.
However if you like polishing/compounding/real detailing  then yes there is absolutely no question to invest in a Porter Cable or the like orbital.Oh BTW truck looks great and nice color, I don't see it enough! Almost as rare as Red Alert  -Cyrus |

That is pretty shiny...
But I've got a beef...You guys with your lil' side compartment-always showing it off when you can...  No, I don't suffer from lil' compartment envy...

I used the Meguire's NXT for my first wax. Went on easy and came off well (by hand). that was about 4 months ago. I need to wax it again since it appears to have "worn out". I used Mother's quick detail between washes etc. and it has held it's shine pretty well in my opinion. I have been holding off on the wax until I get a P/C polisher so I can try to remove some scratches before I wax over them. only problem I had was that I had two water spots on the hood when I put first coat of wx on and it went right over it and they are still there. I suppose that would say something for the protection if it has kept those water spots "protected" from the elements and washing. A recommendation would be to get the paint as clean as possible before applying this type of wax since it seems to protect it pretty well. I have just bought a bottle of the NXT quick detailer so I can't advise on how it will do.
