Cerium Oxide is the option I forgot to mention earlier. I restored a roached Boxster windshield with it and looked new.I have 0000 steel wool, did it a few weeks ago

My white truck was always white and I don't do half the things that are often discussed on this forum.
Most o you guys must have some 49 hour days while I'm stuck with the regular 24.
My white truck has been much easier to keep clean than other vehicles I've owned. Not perfect, but fairly clean. I will never buy a black vehicle again though ha.
i'd say mark them all now with a different color. I went with blue to color match the truck and used thick marker for ease of observationThat’s smart too! At one point I had them marked but after adjusting the lift a few different times I didnt check the marks

Good to knowcerium oxide compounds are known to occasionally distort glass, be careful
What did the springs cost?Made her shiny and I keep going out to the garage to take a look. Put in ORP rear springs for the extra inch. It was way too level without them.
$25.31 ea. at Mopar Parts Giant as of this post. Make sure you get the correct part # based on what your truck came with.What did the springs cost?
My last 8 new trucks in the past 22 years have been white! LOLMy white truck has been much easier to keep clean than other vehicles I've owned. Not perfect, but fairly clean. I will never buy a black vehicle again though ha.
I gotta agree with this statement for the most part but I gotta say last time I clay barred my truck, ceramic coated it, applied a sealant on top, and a wax on top of that…holy crap I never knew white could have so much depth and could reflect so well! I could clearly see myself in the reflection of the white paint lol. So it kinda depends on how well you take care of your paint. In that instance my white paint had way more depth and gloss than your average black car that goes through the drive thru car wash lolWhite paint doesn't have the depth of darker colors nor the reflective qualities of dark colors so it doesn't show paint defects easily, that's what makes it easier to maintain or look clean longer.
Absolutely agree. My truck has some minor swirling now that I need to take care of (likely not til spring), but I'm the only one that knows it's there. If it was a black truck, everyone would know it's thereWhite paint doesn't have the depth of darker colors nor the reflective qualities of dark colors so it doesn't show paint defects easily, that's what makes it easier to maintain or look clean longer.
The Mrs. current Jeep Cherokee is that god awful orange color. I hate it. So much. She liked the color, and it was about the only one available during covid. When we trade it in next year or so, I told her she can buy whatever she wants, but it has to be whiteMy last 8 new trucks in the past 22 years have been white! LOL
Even the wife’s car is white!

i can confirm. My old rig was white and i had way more pinstripes on it than I can remember them happening. But you can't really see them until you look at it at a certain angle and all I ever do in terms of washing was pressure wash, foam, pressure wash to rinse, and leaf blower blow dry.White paint doesn't have the depth of darker colors nor the reflective qualities of dark colors so it doesn't show paint defects easily, that's what makes it easier to maintain or look clean longer.
Sharp Truck Silver WS6!Got the ditch pods mounted up. Gotta say, really happy with the outcome. I was unaware Lasfit had hood brackets for the 5th gens and they worked great. The pods also put out a decent amount of light (for the price) and the quality seems great.
I wanted some real fancy pods but these are perfect for the use that I'll be giving them. I just couldn't justify spending on some Baja Desings or Rigid pods.
I also got the yellow lenses and I might throw those on.

I thought it was a scratch too haI have to say that when I first saw this picture, the OCD in me said, “Oh God there is a scratch, time to bust out the polisher”. But then I noticed it is a reflection of the light mounted above. Tragedy averted.
