I also added both graphics onto my truck after the fact and they turned out great. I did pay to have a pro do them. If they weren't so expensive, I would have done them myself.

I paid $40 for the hood and $75 for both bedsides to be installed.

I love them.

Doc...

What paint sealant do you use...what "gloss enhancer" do you use.?

I have used some of the Zanio detailer , wax products...the blue bottle stuff from Advance Auto...

When I bought the truck in October I chose the Zaino product line and have yet to redo the LSP so did not change my cocktail. I stripped the "stealership" garbage and did some minor paint correction. I was disappointed in the amount of orange peel but since it is my DD I am not going to sand it down. I clayed the truck, IPA cleaned and then applied 2 coats of Z2 (with the ZTR). I let that cure and then applied 2 coats of Z5 with a Z6 spray down between coats. Since then, when I clean the truck, I just use the Z6 as a topper. Takes me a whole 35 minutes to detail my truck. I spray down the dirt and grim, soap it and wash it down with a 2 bucket technique, spray it down again and blow dry with my leaf blower finished with a Cobra WW microfiber guzzler.

When I redo the truck (I figure next month) I will most likely use the Chemical Guy product line (Black Light, Pete 53, topped with V07)

I know someone will ask why I am going to redo it (considering that my process should last a solid year, especially on a garage queen) .... so let me answer it. I live in sugar cane country and grinding season was in full force when I first detailed my truck (and just finished). Unfortunately even the best product can't survive the dirt, grim, chemicals and other contaminants. Second reason is I like a good carnuba wax for winter season :)
