As long as the road crews don't get ambitious with the salt you'll be OK.

I haven't posted any progress reports lately because it's boring. All I have been doing is wet sanding on the cab after paint. By hand, P800, P1000, P1500, then P3000 and P5000 with the new orbital sander. What a machine! That's all done, and now I'm starting the first stage of buffing.

I used Southern Polyurethanes (SPI) "Universal Clear 4000-1" with their slow activator, recommended by a Pontiac body shop guru who is a friend of mine. GREAT product! Flows like glass. You don't have to get on it right away to buff it. You can do that a year later if you want. I've had it on the front of my 2009 Honda for 3 years, and it's durable as well. If you have to call them, most of the time Barry (the owner of the business) will answer. Not only unbelievable, but downright personal tech support. They own your problem. His cell phone is out on his forum if You have an emergency. Call on Sunday if it's a crisis!
