  4. First wax job

    I don't want to start any big thing But Nu Finish is exactly made for old oxidized paint . Used it a long time ago on my Chevy blazer paint that was faded.

    That is breaking US code sticking out that far. Since you are rural maybe no issue with local law enforcement . Try that where I am at you will get ticked.
