Small day today. Installed the smoked turn signals for the mirrors, looks awesome.

also got my SC plate today, which is sad. No more temp tag. Got my bills plate holder and mafia sticker on as well.

went to the dealer and burned some points on some running boards and of course, the obligatory TGD. They should be in in about 2 weeks.

Honestly I tried 303 Graphene based on a earlier post here and I normally use Turtle wax Ice Seal and shine Hybrid. I put one on left side of the hood and the other on the other side. I could not tell the difference. Also beading up was the same. The turtle wax is easier to use though. Longevity it is hard to tell yet.

Now that said I keep my truck pretty good to begin with. I wash and wax allot. I do also use a clay bar a couple times a year. So possibly 303 Graphene might be better on vehicles that need more restoring hard to tell but for me I saw no difference so far.

I am going to give it another shot this week because it is warm and might be my last before winter. I am going to do one side with one and the other side with the other.

Do not get me wrong I think Graphene did a great job and 303 makes great products and easier than waxing but as of right now the Turtle wax ice is easier. There is no buffing need. Plus the spray bottle on the 303 does not work but I see now they have a problem with their spray bottles.

It did do a great job on your truck and the person who posted a little earlier. shows up nice in pictures.
My 303 Spray quit as well; I think it clogs up - swapped it out with another sprayer - mid way through detail, no issues

Finally pulled the trigger on the smoked sequential turn signals for the mirrors. Vendor on Amazon had a coupon that made it hard to resist: Sequential LED Signals. Very easy to install, took maybe 15 minutes.

Installed same lights, love em, just wish I could enjoy light show when turning, instead of just oncoming traffic enjoyment ?

Rotated tires and changed oil. While the hood was raised I took the cover off and checked the plugs for corrosion. None to be found.

First Oil change 2500 miles, full syn at the dealer. I drooled on the 2 Mustang Mach 1's and the Mischievous purple metallic GT, man that paint really flops in the sun! The Lightning's were nice but had a hard time walking away from the F150 Tremor that interior was sweet!...

Pepper was not too happy, only washed the Mrs. Escape today. It was due, we spent last week in it, to Virginia and back. Had a nice cabin, and saw tons of history...and wineries!
