Looking good. Man your truck's shine looks slick. What wash/wax products are you using?

Not that it doesn't look good, but is there a reason why you didn't go with Red Line-X coating?

I like it! How is the rattle can stuff holding up? My silver painted upper cover is peeling, think I'll paint it black, just wondering how it holds up.

Yours looks great,
Here is my version of chrome be gone. Rattlecan bumpers, Line-x rocker panels. Rims are next to be done, just going to powdercoat the stockers.
