same here. paste. not liquid tho.

 

YES! the mothers 3 step is the best along with mcguires. you will never use anything else after you use these

 

I use Meguiars carnuba paste. I have not had to polish it yet, less than a year old. I wouldn't think you need to at this point either...

I have owned my own detail business as well, back in the day, and if you use a good carnuba wax, you will be good to go. I do mine about once a quarter, or at least spring and fall.

 

I posted in the wrong thread.

But while I'm here. I work at a dealership and we use mopar paint sealant on all the new cars. Works very good...I still see water beadage a year later. If your truck didn't get that applied when it was new, I would get some and apply that. It's designed to work with mopar paint.

 

The only thing that's different about Mopar paint vs others, is it's excessive Orange peel in the Clear coat. Overall, paint is paint.

 

I disagree with that. I used to develop paint for the automotive industry, and the quality of different brands of paint can be dramatic. All of the paint must meet minimum requirements set from the manufacturer, but then there are qualities beyond the minimum requirements that differentiate each brand. The excessive orange peel you mention may meet the minimum requirements for Dodge, but there are other brands that have better properties, but at a higher cost. Trust me, the quality of paint that is put on a high end sports car or even a luxury brand car like Lexus is not even close to being the same quality of paint used on a Dodge.
