    I can think of a lot of things I’d rather do than wash and wax my truck. I washed and waxed right before winter last November then never touched it for the next 5 months. But I knew it was clean and protected underneath all that dirt.

    yeah, not many people in the city seem to care much about their truck. just something to get them around i guess.

    Looks sweet. Do you have any problems getting minor scratches out of this paint? I have an 06 impulse red too and it's the worst paint I have ever worked with trying to get scratches out. ( i use a porter cable random orbital and grios waxes and polish) Just wondering if you find the same. thanks

    Looks good. It's a scientifically proven fact that IRP is the best color ever, especially when waxed. The debate is over, it's a fact.
    Therapy, just like the gym or the heavy bag in my garage. I go out and wash and wax and don't think, just do. It's either that or I find some random dude and ruin his month.

    yeah, it is therapy, for a guy any way. I like the gym, fixing my old chainsaws and working on the truck. One of the many things I cant seem to get my girlfriend to understand.....
