My New Ranger Ride

[CB750F]

The only thing I don’t like (It’s the same on mine) is the chrome or silver looking front below the bumper between the hooks and above the skid plate.
Like, why is it that color? The only thing that color on my truck or close to that color are the lug nuts.

With that rant… question.That part is easy enough to pull off the rig, how much you think that would cost to have it matched up to the charcoal bumper?

Plasti Dip it hot florescent pink ?

You found it a better alternative to the 'old fashioned'' carnauba type waxes?
I've never used these newer synthetic clear liquids, although I've always clayed before traditional wax treatments. Thanks.

Rob if you haven't tried the newer spray waxes you really need to. I was a die hard paste wax guy and always thought they were the way to get the best finish, not anymore! These new waxes are super easy to apply and buff out and you don't feel like you broke your wrist like with the paste wax. ?

The Graphene I use has lasted a year which is great considering out heat and strong UV rays out here. The other spray wax I was using (Optimum) which was very good too only last about 6-7 months. One nice thing is with the Graphene you can coat everything from the paint, windows, plastic and headlights so there's no worry about over spray on other areas. Give them a try you'll be happy you did.

I am an old school liquid wax guy at heart. This is a totally different technology. It is actually a spray coating you apply with an applicator. I have never felt a traditional wax or polish that feels as slick as this product. The water shedding is also amazing. It is easier than other ceramics out there to apply as well.

Here is my 2021 XLT I just picked up the other day. This is my first new truck. I just got done doing the new Meguiars synthetic hybrid treatment to her.

Good for you! Congratulations on buying the best truck for your first new truck!

Yup, that's a Ranger.

So what"s your favorite flavor?

 

[Markubis]

Yeah I am already starting to see that accessories could be a black hole. I have seen so much I want to put on it and I have only had it 2 days.?

The first few months of ownership are the hardest.

My prayers go out to you and your family.

@ AzScorpion, JH1498,
Thanks for that info, I too was always a old school work up a sweat with the carnauba type polishes/waxes, will definitely give these newer spray types a try.

By the time you buy all the stuff, you would probably be better off getting it done at a shop. Although you could use a tintable bed liner. You could probably buy the products for around 200 to do it. Or Upol makes a 2 part Raptor Bed liner in a spray can in black for 50 or under. I am guessing you could have 3 to 500 pretty quick wrapped up having a shop do it. There is always somebody somewhere who would do it for less.

Appreciate it ?

Welcome to the family Jody. Great looking Ranger, enjoy.

Thank you

Actually my initial thought was having Bed liner used for that. Black or charcoal doesn’t really matter, black will probably be better anyway with all the black on the rig… I’ll look into that, $50 and under to spray it myself sounds good to me.
