    I have a 90 Lumina eurosport that has the original paint, which had a lot of roughness on the surface on the paint just from age. I clay barred the whole thing, and just that took me about 30 hours, but It was well worth the effort. The clay bar takes a lot of the impurities off the surface of the clear coat, good luck with your truck and take your time.

    Just waxed my extended cab. Took 45 minutes. My arms have a little soreness. I need a buffer.

    Thanks for the advice guys! I opted for the cheaper way out. Yesterday I got the Meguiars fine cut cleaner and did the truck with a coat of that, brought it WAY better than what it was. Then today I got the Meguiars ultimate liquid wax and put a coat of that on it, must say, wow! Looks like a new truck compared to what it used to look like, I'm very happy with the results. Don't have any before pics but here's a shitty cell phone pic. Looks 100 times better in person... Gonna get my good camera out this weekend and get some better shots. This truck stayed outside for 3 years undriven in Canadian climate, must say the paint looks pretty damn good considering that!
