My Grandson has an Auto Detailing Company called "Flawless Detailing". He worked on my truck this past week. Stripped everything off the paint. Buffed and Polished out all the scratches. Coated the painted surface with a Teflon Coating. Brought this 20 year old truck back to life. He says the coating will last five years with nothing needed beyond normal washing. Also claims it will be much easier to clean because dirt/mud won't stick to the paint. I'll report my results.

That's a pretty snappy truck for an older fellow. :)
It looks like new.

For sure.....

I have a '00 Super Duty that's got 270K miles and rusted down. Friend of mine had this truck with 130K miles on it. Texas truck. No rust. He kinda pimped it out more than I would but it's a very solid truck. I paid $13K for it two years ago. I've put 20K miles on it. I don't drive it on salty Winter roads. It lives in a climate controlled shop. Parked beside my '05 Jeep Wrangler with 27K miles and no rust.

Nothing beats having a nice shop and room to fit things inside. My trucks are under cover with no salty roads and no hot sun when unused. They look like new and it all comes back when I trade or sell. Top dollar every time.

I bought my older truck to replace the truck I lost in my shop fire ten years ago. I bought it from an elderly farmer that had bought it new. Had 110K miles on it. Had been parked in a machine shed but driven nearly every day in all kinds of weather and road conditions. Missouri uses a lot of salt. It was just starting to rust when I got it. It's pretty bad now. But still a solid truck mechanically. So that saves the newer truck from being driven when roads are bad.

The guy I bought the older truck from was a great guy and typical old farmer. He dug a seed corn notebook out of the glove box and diligently showed me everything that had ever been done to that truck. Including every oil change. Printed in old man hand writing with a #2 pencil. :)

Is that teflon coating the same as ceramic?

Okay maybe that was a dumb question. Obv it is either Teflon or ceramic.
