What luck, I just found your first polish video last night and now today I get a 2+ year update! I am going to give it a shot on my 1972 C20. My patina is not a near cool as yours, but the faded red/orange paint needs something, and this looks like what I have been looking for. By the way, I love your two fat dogs, the baby cat and your voice. Thanks for the no bs video!

Such a cool idea! For people interested you can also use Mop & Glow for a heavy shiny. I’ve used it on smaller objects with great results.

Karla was worried it was a stray weened from it's mother to soon. I faught my new welder for a while. Kept having problems with the wire breaking in front of the roller. Got that working good now. Pulled the glass and got some color match paint for cab interior. Hunter surprised us and got involved back stage for a theatre show at school. It's good but let's the truck sit. I will send pics soon

I’m very curious about how well water beads up off your hand, and how long that lasted? There’s not much plastic on this Chevy, but have you tried the ZEP on any plastic? I’ve never considered using floor polish as a clear coat. Looks awesome! Maybe a video of Jerry in some denim cutoff overalls washing the 70….😅

@UglyTruckExperience

😆 Yes, my hand was fully waterproofed after this, but it came off with a good scrub. I haven't tried it on any plastic, but I will and report back! We have plenty of junk donor parts to experiment with. 😁 And be careful what you wish for... The 70 desperately needs a wash! 😉

looks great and im jumping back n forth on doing this to my 76 Jeep J10 preserving the patina, but my bedsides are rusted and the rockers and the fender flairs, and if i fix those which i was going to do via cutting and welding, then bondo etc.. i will have to paint those sections and itll throw off the Jeeps patina... so i think im going to just fix the rust and rattle can paint the Jeep.. i dont want all the rusted out panels like they are.. its ugly and kinda embarassing to drive around in

I promise I wasn't though! I stuck the Go Pro to the bumper on a stick mount, and that's really a clip of the truck driving from where it was parked for the video. No fancy editing there!

"Killed it with the clutch" yeah that is where I saw the tires in the grass. Looked like it was in reverse and you stopped it with the clutch. Either way great way to finish a truck. You can also do your floor and it keeps down dust. It will make your floor slicker than Goose Poop if the rain or dew hits it. Ask me how I know😂

The VGG shine juice is TOO EXPENSIVE! You can go to your local paint supply store and get a gallon sprayable for $150 ish and a hobo freight paint gun for $20 bucks and that’s the same clear coat that’s on any car
