Oh please, honestly guys... my suggestion of using wax is no big deal... sheesh. Bottom line is that truck is gonna need to be stripped prior to a real paint job anyway, that is SO obvious. Who cares if the wax permiates the existing paint, scratches, etc...? It has to come off. Period.

Made my living as a painter for over a dozen years in high end shops... not an amature opinion.

So if you want to coat it in any way, form, or fashion, that will ALL need to come back off anyway.

Good old carnuba wax will be the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way to seal for now AND be the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to remove when the time comes.

Your truck, do as you please...
