?We're sposed to wash these things? Last time I washed mine was @ the 70 mph car wash [raining hard & going 70]. But, since my wife has been driving mine, while I've been deployed, think she washes & vacs it once a wk, emails fotos too of the kids & truck. Closet Ford truck lover that one. Nice job Chris, sucker looks better than brand new.

Fords have always had orange peel paint or at least everyone that I have seen since the early 90s.

That polishing job sure did a good job of hiding it!

Orange peel is on the majority of cars, it's just that most people don't look that close. The only cars that get wet-sanded to remove the orange peel are luxury cars like Lexus, Mercedes, Jaguar, etc.

Orange peel is caused by the paint drying too fast. Most automakers put an additive in the paint to make it dry faster, however it probably isn't added to the paint on higher end stuff. Time isn't quite as much of an issue on them and not as many need to be produced in a day.
