But ya I feel you on the wasted time, I spent 4 hours cleaning the tacoma and 4runner, just to have it thunderstorm 20 minutes after I took the pics

I'm just kinda old school, I know most of those waxes in the "windex" bottles don't last nearly as long. I know good ole turtle wax paste will last a LONG time, as compared to the other products. But man it sure is a PITA lol.

Oh ya its been off road... The paint has its blemishes from off roading, just hard to see in pictures. I've clayed bared it twice in the last 2 months, which really helped out the paint.
