Honestly I'm ashamed that this stupid, pointless task took so long. Keep in mind this truck will be a working ranch truck, there are no plans for a flawless body and paint job. Why I spent so much time cleaning and painting what hardly anyone will ever see just reinforces my suspicion that "the boy just ain't right."

I can totally relate, it made me laugh out loud, for real

Usually you use solvent in a parts washer, not a water based degreaser, that may be your issue
