Here's what I did to my bought new 2003 GMC Sierra 5.3L 4x4 with 200,000 miles.
Unfortunately, the truck has to sit outside for the past 5 1/2 years under a dirty Locust Tree.
LOVE this truck & do what I can to keep it running great. It's got plenty of road chips & a good deal of under-door rust, but oh well.
Living in Minnesota, I cannot readily wax it for the upcoming cold weather, so the plan is to do what I can this Fall & see how long it lasts.
Here's what I did:
1) Washed it with Surf City Garage Barrier Reef Wash & Wax. Dual Buckets!
2) Used Griot's Garage Buffer with SCG's "Beyond Clay" Paint Polish.
3) Hand applied SCG "Nano Seal" Paint Sealant & left on for a few hours.
4) Buffed on Mother's FX SynWax.
The LEFT side is what it looked before "Beyond Clay",
the RIGHT side is after Beyond Clay:
ZOOM IN!
Here is after "Beyond Clay":
Here is after SCG's "Nano Seal" Flaws are in actual ceiling, NOT paint:
Here's the final after Nano Seal & SynWax - Outside
