    I've been trying to find the time to wash, clay bar, and wax my truck for weeks. My truck is lucky to get waxed twice a year. Wish I had the time to do it quarterly. Any more than that is excessive imo

    I need a buffer, maybe that would reduce the time it takes to wax and my truck would get more TLC lol

    I abuse the hell out of the unlimited part.

    Have to keep outside in the sun. Can anyone recommend a product that will help protect the paint and plastic from fading or being sun damaged?
