Just some food for thought if you ever want to try something else... #21 in place of #26, NXT can be used as a one step product on a like new surface, there are very slight cleaners in NXT but its not a cleaner wax. You can also use NXT in place of #26, I really like the look of NXT on black. Don't get me wrong your truck looks killer, just some info if you ever want to experiment.

hey. no problem, I came here for advice. This is a great site so far!

I really want to get a good idea of the perfect setup to keep my show finish a "show fnish. Thsi will e the first time I have EVER had a a professional custom paintjob... as much as I'm paying, I want it to Last.

but no roll races. From a dead stop or nothing anything done to yuor lightning?

Well, the most important thing.....it's Meguiarsized! It has a custom grill, K&N air filter, and an aftermarket performance chip from Superchips. It's called a "flip-chip". It has a small switch on the dash that lets you alternate between the stock program and the performance program. Gives an extra 35-40 horses in perf. mode. I put the grill on and the chip was in the truck when I bought it. I've never really raced it.....I much prefer to head out on some curvy country or mountain road and haul a$$.

not really. I go to the track all the time, but I'm always adding stuff to it, so I always have to relearn to drive it...it's pretty inconsistant since it's always different. But I love it. Just can't catch any traction

People dont expect to see a pickup truck sideways into 3rd gear at WOT.

yeah, I'd run you.... but I'm not driving to NY to do it. And if thats your et... I gotcha by just under 2 seconds but I'm always down for a good race. I'll run street tires.

sorry, I double posted that last one

That truck is awesome. Orlando? If you ever find it missing its because I drove down there and stole it. Just kidding. Great job on it though. It looks great.
