Not a detail fanatic but decided to break out some elbow grease this am and clean up the new truck. Not looking too bad for an 8 y/o with 90K on it...



I bought some stuff called Detail Doctor + and it worked awesome on the old washed out plastic trim. We'll see how long it lasts. Should have taken some before/after shots but here's the after. Imagine a light grey sun bleached piece of plastic before application. I used it on the other plastic trim too, mirrors, handles, bed rails, etc.



I seriously thought I would need to replace this wheel. It looked totally pitted but it must have been a bunch of dried on brake dust and built up grease. Took a lot of elbow grease, a combination of wheel cleaners and a stainless steel gun brush, lol, but it came out great.

 

Here's under the hood after a can of Gunk and $5 under the pressure washer at local car wash...

 

Nice job looks real good, I get crazy with mine about once a week, (OCD) and its nice to see detailed F150's

 

Be careful washing the engine. You can get water down by the spark plugs and that will cause a misfire.

 

Nice looking truck. I remember when my 05 was this small. Like the colour of your truck.

 

my 05 just turned 180,000 this morning

 

keep us posted on how the detail doctor holds up

 

Just turned 90,000 pulling into my block tonight. Glad to hear there's some more life left in her, lol...

 

Mine has 240000km but almost everything has been replaced.
