I have a buddy who details car, trucks, rigs, farm tractors, whatever ya got. He charges me $400 for a detail, but that also includes a full interior clean and carpet scub/clean, running a buffer over the truck, polishing up the stainless and alumnium and putting on a hand wax job.

I think it was Turtle Wax, but I got it at Walmart. Comes in a jug like windshield washer fluid, but is a soap and wax all in one. It worked real good and the wax lasted longer than the crap you get from the beacon.

If it wasn't Turtle Wax then it had to be an Eagle One product. My memory any more sucks.

I have never even given it a thought to try and wax a truck by hand, especially a condo. Your arms would probably fall off. I don't wash my truck myself anymore either, just wait in line and pay someone else to do it.

If you get thru Sioux City much the Greenlight has a product called gold bond that is supposed to last, I think they might even guarantee it to last xx# of days. I haven't tried it myself, but have friends who swear by it.
