    To be honest I never really considered it as an option.

    But it looks great and he's totally loving it.

    Right on man, I was just curious if was really wax and indeed it is! It's good stuff for a top coat to really make the paint shine like it does in the photo. I use mother's spray wax occasionally to really bring out the gloss in my VW R32's blue paint. As far a longevity it will probably only last 6 weeks or so depending on if its garage kept or not. Perhaps encourage your Dad to get some of this?


    Meguiar's G18309 Ultimate Fast Finish, 8.5 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MD28FZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_d1fTAb7YXGMHY

    It's rather inexpensive and I've been reading the follow ups on its longevity over at autogeek.net .So far it's holding up to its claim that it will last a year (pending the surface is prepped well before application). This way your dads new truck looks new all the time and you or him don't have to wax it as much! :bananadance:

    That's not the Brazilian wax job I've heard of, but considering your dad was involved, that's good. :eek::rofl::rofl::rofl:
