Side Note:
The fender wells were some type of composite. I tried DLux and it streaked and blotched. I had a hard time getting a smooth, even look.
I stripped off the DLux and (luckily) I had just enough CQF left in the bottle to coat the wheel wells. (Much Better, smoother, even look)

Another Note:
For a "Brand New" vehicle the B pillars were swirled up real bad. They cleaned up real sweet and I coated them with CQuartz Finest.

Thanks for Looking...
 
Amazing gloss to the paint Mike. I wish your neighbor would have waved...LOL!

Sadly, in this pic (below) it shows the fender wells when they were coated DLux.
They looked streaky, thick and foggy. Dlux was not the right product for that surface

After the DLUX was removed I coated then with Cquartz Finest. The interesting part is that they now have a bit of the OEM matte finish.
Although CQF was applied there was a "touch" of gloss but the OEM matte finish integrity was still there. I much preferred the CFQ look.

Nice job! Just got a call for the same exact truck. Trying to decide if I should go with UK or TiO2. Did you coat the glass, wheels and headlights also?

Thank you.
Coat glass no. When I do I use Flyby Forte and charge extra.
Wheels and headlights yes.
