After 5 years being parked under a carport, it's starting to lose it's shine. I purposely haven't polished or waxed it because i want it to get an aged look.

Thanks Wayne,I was opting for a semi matt/satin finish so a gloss finish isn't required.
My main concern is to stop any further deterioration of the bodywork.
I've added more patina in the last three years than the truck had gained in its previous 64 years! big_eek
