    Well, it was finally nice enough to clean and wax my truck today. I clay bared the old wax and grime off for the first time and tried Shine Armour for the first time. It went on the truck really nice. Turned out looking good. We'll see how it holds up. I usually use all Griot's Garage Products. Thought I would try something new.

    Thanks. I am a stickler when it comes to a clean truck. Winters really suck up here. I consider ceramic coating also but Armour Shine got some really good reviews all over the interweb. We'll see.
    Nothing on TV so I may do one more coat. lol.

    I do it all myself with Blackfire Ceramic Coating. It's been on for year, and that was it's first wash this Spring.
