Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

48, honestly I'v done nothing in the 5 years since I'v had the truck in my hands. I did this summer wipe some CLR or whatever its called on it (seemed to do little if anything) and then I waxed it. I think keeping wax on it would be key. I always like to coat underneath everything with por15 or chassis saver, then coat it with a bedliner. The underneath will kill you faster than the top. I live in a nasty weather area, we get great lake effects, snow rain, moisture out the wazzzooo. I've driven it in the winter a few times so that hasn't helped me out. I'v noticed some wear and tear on it so I won't do that anymore.

I'm thinking of a satin clear coat on my current build. problem with that is getting all the dirt and oil off so the clear can set. I'v heard boiled linseed oil and kroil in a can works as a good preserver.
