Do it a panel at a time and wont take long. Would suggest doing a clay bar also before you wax if you have never done it to the truck.

Buy a clay kit. It'll have instructions on how to use it inside.

Meguiars 1-2-3- system is good. You get the cleaner wax, polish, and carnauba. Pretty straight forward, forgiving, inexpensive, and beginner friendly.

That fills me at Kroger, I save $.10 per gallon. Hah

But after I buy the rims, I'm selling the old ones and of that money, new headlights. and doing all the suspension myself and with my cousin. His job right now is a mechanic. He's wielding me a flip kit.

But I just won a bet on the football game with my dad, so he has to buy my foglights. Lol
