    I vote for the pick up truck. Particularly the Colorado. That or one of the small cargo vans like the Ford Transit or Chevy/Dodge equivilants that are becoming popular. Off topic but how do you detail cars after a 9-5 job? Especially in the fall and winter months when it gets dark at 6:30-7pm...

    Gloss-coat and CQuartz vs DP and Pinnacle Diamond

    Gloss-coat sounds like the winner. I like the look of PBL and DP a lot but durability is important and I'd like to be able to get the full 2 years (or 3 years according to PBLs claim) out of whatever product I use with proper maintenance.

    Meguiars ultimate wax

    I have the UW and it has always been watery as well, but still seems to work fine. Offers a couple weeks worth of protection on my daily driven vehicle in a location where it rains very often. Not sure if I should expect more from an over the counter product? But I didn't think it was terrible...
