Had the day off and decided it had been a while since the 80 got a real detail so went down to a shop I know that has done my rig in the past and he tells me that they can't give the truck a full detail because my body's clearcoat is no more and that it would be damaging to the paint.
Come home wash, wax, and buff it lightly myself and can say that it is nice to have the truck feel smooth and sparkle.
Anyone else have ther paint fading and similar problems with no clear coat cover? I have a 96 which has been out in the CA Sun since birth (when you look at the body panel that used to be covered by the fender flare you can see a significant difference in color). Can this be expected for just 10 years in the running? Big deal or am I just worried about nothing?
The rig has been asthetically taken care of well, washed often and waxed several times a year (with quality products).
Although I like the dirty beat up look, I can also appreciate a clean stealthy look (Don't want the paint to start coming off just yet. Any recommendations, experiences, or opinions are welcome
