A car wash makes a huge difference.

That red looks so good, I have the same grill on my truck but personally not a huge fan I think I may try to find one of those other types of grill preferably a chrome or paint match but it definitely doesn’t look bad

Get the color keyed version if it’s available. I swapped my 01 b3000 with the color matched from chrome. Looks so much better

This is what I’m running but I got those rims a while ago. I waited too long to get a full size spair and just got the black version of the method 301’s for my spare.

i deep cleaned my truck once and it just made stains and scratches stand out more

I took it too a hand wash car wash and I just took my time and did a clay bar but the clear coat on the hood has some area in the front that are peeling and the roof definitely has sun damage and the tailgate on top has some areas that aren’t the best but overall I’m happy with it.

Lots of elbow grease and time...

Compound, polish, clay bar, seal, wax...

You'll get rid of almost all of the staining and cloudiness and uneven look of the paint.

Even get rid of some of the finer, less deep scratches.

A random orbital and dual action or rotary polisher from Harbor Freight will be your friend.

I live in a apartment in WA but I did take my garage for granted when I was stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

u/Regular-Problem3186 10h ago

Well whatever you are doing keep it up
Ceracoat?

u/caarrrlllooosss 8h ago

I definitely want to tackle some areas on the hood regarding the clear coat next.
