Thumbs up Washed and Waxed, also updated.

I decided it was time to give Ol Red a wash and wax. Here's what she looks like now.

Also shows the tint really nice. 25% on the sides, limo(5%) on the rear

Removed the air thing under the bumper, thing was hideous. Also removed the vent shades, because while offroading in a high grassy area, a branch went under and broke my driver side vent shade, so I removed both. I personally like it better. Might remove the bug deflector too. Not sure.







Hope yall like.

Hell yea they could. How much do they run? I've been meaning to get around to that but I have been pretty busy. I'll be getting lots of time starting this week.

I was thinking of just using toothpaste as I've heard works. But I think my problem is in the inside of the headlight.

Ha yea that's what I was thinking, oh well. That's why I'm probably going to wait to buy those Euro style headlights you have.

Sorry for copying LOL.

You can use 2,000 grit sandpaper and regular water.....just get a UV sealer to cover it later....

BTW-MOISTEN THE LENS FIRST.....Otherwise it'll be scratched to pieces....

The black things that follow the curvature of the window. Also removed the black thing under the bumper. ALSO before the tint. Pure glass. Someone had just broken into my truck, hence the paint marker on the triangle glass from JY.

Here's before I removed them.



Truck looks beautiful in this picture, don't remember what time it was.
