[QUOTE="debordj, post: 280795, member: 6740"] Thanks SWATraptor. I think in all it probably cost me about $110 but I bought a bunch of microfiber towels. Most expensive thing was the $40 tub of Collinite. Duragloss is pretty cheap - about $15 for both bottles of 105 and the 601 bonding agent. IronX I got on special so it was less than $20. I used the IronX on my wifes car and it did turn Purple but not on the truck which is good. Mother's Clay kit was $18 at WallyWorld. Both Collinite and Duragloss are awesome but they have to go on Thin THIN and THIN! Not like the old carnuba stuff I used as a kid. For wife's car I also bought a bottle of Duragloss 501 that is actually an all-in-one cleaning wax that is designed for boats and RVs but many professional detailers use as an all-in-one. It turned her 2007 Ford Fusion into a show car. It is great stuff, but I didn't need the micro abrasives for the new truck so I just went straight to the 105 sealant...of course with 601 bonding agent mixed in at a 4:1 ratio...easier than putting 601 on the car and then putting 105 on top of it (learned that trick on the autogeek.net forum). I'm honored by Boss Hoss's comments because he is the one that got me thinking about how to detail the truck when it arrived...his how to detail thread is awesome by the way. Although I do plan to take it off-road so I altered the products a little to get max durability. Stumbled onto autogeek.net and their awesome message board and they were very helpful in what products were best for my use. But no doubt, without Boss Hoss's motivation, I would be sitting here with a dirty new Raptor! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
