Thank you for your comments.

My typing leaves a lot to be desired. I meant to type the word trunk but typed truck instead. Sorry. Also I should have typed six cylinder and not V6. The mind wasn't in gear.

Regarding waxing, I live in the desert where driving conditions can become extreme. We have temperatures as low as 18F in Winter and regular high temperatures reaching 115F-120F for weeks at a time in the Summer.

Throughout the year wind driven abrasives such as soil and sand often pelt the car. I find that one way I can proatect the finish on my cars is to protect them by regular washing, waxing and polishing. I do so on a regular quartely basis or more often as conditions dictate.

I go over ALL exterior surfaces regardless of material. I also keep the dash and seats protected with a light coating of wax. A soft rag works all interior areas.
