Also it'll be where the chemicals are. Get the powder, not liquid, I can't vouch for the liquid, never tried it.

This is one of my wheels after cleaning with Eagle One Mag Wheel. Very, very minimal rubbing, just spray on, let sit for about a minute, spray off with water.

If someone could point me in the right direction with this, i'd appreciate it

Havent done much to the truck, been extremely busy but i have had some downtime so i took some pics and did a few things to the new truck

The Headlights were a little chalky so i went and bought a Mothers headlight resto kit and holy **** that thing works!
Before:

After:

Here it is with one done and one not done for comparison:

Also, got a new tool box from my step-dad. Its a wethergaurd and its basically brand new. I asked him what he wanted for it, and he said just take it...Gotta love family!



And hers just a few randoms:

Rancho Shocks!

LOL i walked into that one.

Its not really about that, idc who sees me pick my nose, hell i'll even show them what i found up there if they're that interested in it! I just like to feel isolated in my truck, i dont like it to be open, idk how to explain it....kinda like a "i can see you but you cant see me" kind of thing

Great looking truck of course. I can't believe how well that mother's polish worked! Are you sure you didn't get a check from them and swapped headlights to make us buy Mother's?
