First time polishing the truck
 
Took advantage of nicer weather and brought out my Harbor Freight polisher. Just used "Meguiars Polishing Compound" and went to town. The paint looks much deeper and most of my randoms light scratches came out.

And I recently installed the A pillar with the trans temp and air/fuel guage. Trans temp is nice when towing the trailer. Combine my cooler and B&M deep pan and it stays near 150* ...

oh wow dat lewk gewdddddd....and i like your a-pillar too

Thanks.

After one trip to the junkyard, the thing was so muddy that I had to clean it and decided to go all out. I never seen a junkyard that doesn't have unavoidable mud puddles.

And the A-pillar still needs some adjustment. I need to hook up the air/fuel still, and put another screw in it. I refused to cut up my stock panel so I managed to use the pillar pod only without it.

I wanted my silverado to be that color but I couldn't find any. Very nice, I need to clean mine up too since I just removed all the pin striping but the residue is still there.

Yeah, what she said. Look I'll pay you $10.00. What more could you ask for? :rofl:

Edit: All right seeing that my truck is an extended cab long bed I'll make it $15.00. What do you say?
