Sweet ride, your truck is what I'm looking for. Standard cab with a V-8. These Dodges are nice rigs, better than I thought.

Nice job on the wax, looks awesome.

Tried Zaino, but I went back to Liquid Glass. I love it.

I have used eagle one wax (the new tech wax). It looks nice but I might try another to see if I can get more shine.

I have always liked the Meguiar's. On a finish that needed some attention, I'd always start with the Pro Machine Glaze and/or the Pro series Swirl Remover. Usually one full application start to finish, then another. After that, I'd go to the Show Car Glaze and would normally do each particular area 2-3 times, one application right after another. Finished off with the Polymer Sealant. Gave me the best looking finish I've ever seen..... HOWEVER, I have come across another product which gives very very similar results, and makes life a little easier. I have switched to a Race Glaze Leveling Compound, which is nearly unbeatable.. and is completely water soluble, so when you're done buffing, you can rinse it down with the hose, and anything left on the vehicle, including in door jams, in small crevices, around emblems, and splatter on windows or anywhere else comes right off. Plus it breaks down to a finer and finer amount of abrasion as it gets hotter, so it starts with a pretty strong cut and by the time it's broke down, it's leaving a very nice finish. Then I hit it once with the Race Glaze Polish and Sealant, and it's showroom quality! All this applied with a Dewalt pro elect buffer dw849. I like to use the Meguiar's quick spray detailing mist whenever I can too, just to knock any dust and maybe water marks off, plus it cleans up the polish from the trim nicely. I actually just got done doin my car this weekend. These sealants are real nice too, because unlike some of the guys I've read who post about waxing their trucks once a week, I do this maybe twice a year and the finish is protected. I like my vehicles to look nice too, but I don't have time to wax a full size car and a quad cab truck every week.. it's hard enough just getting them washed!

Silver06- I would like to know what you think of the 5star shine. I am considering it for my new 06 QC when it gets here.
