Default turtle wax black box

I was at autozone and saw this stuff on the shelf so i decided to give it a try. After about four hours, my truck looks amazing. I did it all by hand so if i had an electric buffer it would have probably turned out even better. I should have used gloves too.

i was a little worried that when i got the new bumper put on that it would stand out being freshly painted vs. the rest of my truck which didnt exactly look freshly painted but that stuff took out about 90% of the minor imperfections(water stains, small knicks and scratches) Lets see how long this stuff last on the truck though.

Get the Meguires matte black tire shine .... looks sharp. All it does is turn the tire black, not all shiny. That way it also doesnt splatter up all over the sides of the truck.

If you think thats bad, I spent a whole Saturday washing, claying, polishing and waxing my truck, to wake up the next morning and find my dad in the garage sanding a tv stand with my truck inside.

It was 19.99 for the black box kit at autozone but you need buy at least 3 or 4 microfiber clothes to go with it.
