You mean I shouldn't just drive through puddles then come home and pressure wash my hot engine with my 3k psi pressure washer?

LOL

Once I get my truck I'll be much more concerned with keeping the damper clean. Got to be tough to do with that Ranger design defect high ass end and all.

Much easier and quicker way...also you can let it soak to get the grunge off the frame...

damn you Dave

Just something else to buy now Jim. ?

Let us know how it goes! It's not like Kate needs more detailing stuff ... =)

I got her some ONR, a fancy bug remover, a measuring pourer dealio, and a new tire brush today. Oh, plus a second Maralux sprayer, because clearly one is not enough!!! =D

And on Black Friday, I got her a 48 inch Gorrilla platform thing to get her 20 inches taller for roof work (LOL, I don't even look at the Ranger's roof, I do spray it with the soap cannon and rinse it, but I don't actually look at it).

Update: Oh no, Pan the Organizer! He's the one that gets me in trouble and in debt! Plus he's a fellow frog like me, ugh ... =p

Now you’ve done it Dave. That’s another 100 bucks for brushes, spray products for cleaning something only I SEE!

Why do you think mine still looks like this? Out of sight out of mind. ?


Maybe I'll tackle it in the spring.?

Don't forget you need brushes for wheels and tires, brushes for painted surfaces, for interior work and now for engine work... And they all need to be different so you don't cross contaminate from one surface to the other.


You're welcome.

Yes Pan has cost me a small fortune too. But he does have some good detailed videos and walks you though them so even a novice can tackle most things he shows.

You'd best get a ladder out and check the roof. Might look like a landmine of bird droppings up there. ??

 

[Jhbryaniv]

And bird poop will etch the clear coat and make it fail...

 

[rang19ca]

Bird shxxt wil destroy your clear coat in as quick as 1 day. That stuff must be nuclear.

You're welcome.

I’ll be counting brushes trying to go to sleep now. You’re a big help!

Autogeek had a good sale 9n brushes yesterday.

Now they're back to full price

Enjoy.

LOL

Ohh, and make sure you hang them to dry so they don't get mildew or anything in the bristles.




I don't hang mine, I toss them in a bucket until the following week. Lol
