any more pics of the deer? links 1+2 (link 2 gives you a relative view of exactly how big he was that you dont get from pics 1) below is my deer i just got back a week ago from last year, thats my jerkey for now, he was 170 dressed and base is thick as a pop can i was stoked, 3rd link is to the other thing i got last year which i also got back a week ago, gotta figure out where to hang that up, bc its a permanent type thing.

as for the truck, wtf, it looks great, but why did you wetsand it!?!?!?!?! its called a good ol claybar and elbow grease! what products do you use? and methods?

I had some nicks and deep scratches. wetsanding gets rid of the highs and lows in the paint where claybars just get rid of imperfections like overspray. I got a touchup pen from the dealer and filled the scraches and nicks, waited for them to dry, then used wet/dry 2000 grit and a sanding block to wetsand them smooth. then I used a 2500 rpm buffer and some turtlewax buffing compound and buffed till shiny, then used some turtle wax polish and applied it by hand with a microfiber rag and wiped it off with another microfiber. nice, smooth, and lint free. jsut be careful wetsanding as you can really easy go though the paint. all you want to do is smooth the clearcoat not go to the basecoat. (and yes, I know I am a mothers dealer but didnt have any on hand at the moment)
