My son did not get my passion for cleaning cars as I hoped he would. He might run his truck through a car wash once a month. Since I received my meguires m105 and 205 in I figured his truck was the perfect test. Surprisingly it didn't have many swirls probably due to him never washing it. But it had scratches all over. Here are a few before shots. Although hard to see in the white paint he had pretty bad oxidation. 201262012720128

Here are a few 50/50 shots after m105. 20129201302013120132

Here are a few shots after m105 205 and some synthetic carnauba I picked up for .50 a bottle. 20133201342013520136201372013820139

I'll try to get some shots in the day light tomorrow. I'm really happy with how well it turned out.

The color looks off because it was dark and I had to adjust the camera settings to show the difference. But his truck is arctic white.

Great Job, IMO if he keeps going to the car washes. Maybe a touch free car wash will work for him?

I went to just check it out, and it worked. (For the most part)

Still prefer to do it on my own :D

Either way great job

Didn't know Prestone made a wax. That's interesting.

I didn't either but for .50 I figured I would give it a shot

It's not a bad wax, easy on easy off and good water beading.

Your son's blessed to have a nice dad like you :)

Hope he appreciates the time and effort you put into this!

On a side note, is it just me or is the rear portion dented inwards?
Edit: Just noticed BillE's comment..

It does have some dings on it but nothing real bad. The tail gate is dented inwards but you can't wax that out:)
