  1. Mine is a DD with 140,000. I plan on driving it until it dies. In the meen time I am taking as much care as possible. The paint it is excellent condition and looks better then most black vehicle on the road with 10,000 miles. However, the plastic cladding seems to take a beating as well as the front bumper. I plan on repainting those peices this summer. I am also going to have some leather work done to keep the interior looking like new. My truck means the world to me and will do anything to keep her on the road.

  2. Its a killer combination, but anytime you lay a glaze down under something there will be a slight loss of durability. The benefit will be a deeper/wetter looking shine... so if you keep up on it the benefit outweighs the very slight loss in durability. Americana on its own looks utterly fantastic so don't feel you HAVE TO go the BG+APW route... I know its popular on the forum, but we are heading into winter, how good do you really need it to look right now??

     

    If the truck is garaged, sees average exposure to the elements, and is maintained using a pH neutral soap you can expect a few months of life from 2 thin coats of Americana... less depending on the frequency and severity of exposure.

    Unfortunatly I am still using Zaino for winters protection. Just trying to finish up the bottle. The Adam's is going to be for the summer. This spring will consist of some correction then followed by Americana and then maintained with detail spray between washes. I am probably going to skip the BG.

  3. Here are some updated pics of Kirby. He is doing great and always makes us laugh with the things he does. Such a character.

     

    Here he is guarding the brush, he didn't feel like being brushed today.
