Installed a DeeZee tailgate damper just now. Super easy install.

In a side note, the wife is about to kille me for all the money I’ve been spending in the Ranger lately.:shock:
you'll be alright. lol in fact I just saw a 1997 twin turbo supra get sold for 4k when in reality it was worth idk like 100k judging by emblems. The guy had passed away and his wife said the husband said it was a Celica. lol The misses doesn't need to know lol

Gave the poor girl some much needed attention.

Broke out the upholstery cleaner and gave the interior a deep clean. Pup has taken to chasing geese through the marsh and thoroughly stunk up the joint. Really impressed with the Carhartt seat covers. Cleaned up like new and they sure do take a beating.

Stripped off the 303 …sorry @AzScorpion. Just couldn’t take the sticky feeling anymore when detailing. Used Adams strip wash in an Adams foam gun. Stripped everything down really nicely without having to clay bar. Even took out all the bug splatter without much scrubbing. Then polished out any water spots, took out all the scuffs on the bug deflector, polished up the headlights, and polished the windows. Then applied a coat of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant. Really like the wet look it maintains and rags just glide across the finish.

Looks good Jeff but I'm surprised yours was sticky. I've never felt a sticky feeling with the Graphene it's quite the opposite. It's really slick feeling especially after using the Graphene Detailer. I'm glad you found something that you like as there's so many good products out there now.

maybe sticky is the wrong word here. Slightly tacky may be better. Compared to an old school carnuba and that hard shell where a rag when finished felt like your hand across wet ice, 303 has a slight grip to a rag. Wolfgang achieves that feel. Now I can’t complain about performance. Whether a full wash, waterless wash, or a quick detailing, 303 always looked great when done and cleaned easily.

now their interior cleaner and protectant, I’ll never give up. If you got a pup that slobbers on everything while in the Starbucks line you’ll know the streaks that are left when cleaning. Nothing I’ve tried makes interior cleaning quick and easy while being gentle at the same time. Which is important with our cheap plastic interiors.

Keep in mind....that is for the emblems only. If you want to replace the rear chrome camera housing/surround as well you will need part MB3Z-9942528-AA. It includes the parts I showed in the pics previously.
Thank you just ordered mine.

Went to Walmart yesterday. They had this on sale for 18.00
Apparently, the car wash can be used in a foam cannon. We'll see.

If it doesn't try this from Chemical Guys. While you can use most car wash soaps through a foam cannon they don't always foam up good. You want it to foam up and look like snow (that's why most are labeled Snow Foam) so it attaches itself to the dirt and drops it down off the vehicle. I tried using my normal car wash soap and it barely foamed up at all then switched to this stuff.

Dave,
Whats the purpose of "foaming" up a vehicle like that? I've seen a lot of people doing it.
Would the soap not dry to the truck?
I'm coming from the bucket ans sponge era :D
