As long as you don't lay it on super heavy, you won't have any dust attraction issues.

They key to avoiding that is to apply a thin coat and let it dry completely. I prefer to spray it into an applicator, then wipe it around the tire. If you want it to look like SVRT, give it a quick wipe with a clean utility towels. This will give you the look of SVRT with 2-3x the longevity. A perfect combo in my opinion. :)

That's exactly what I'm going for. Thanks, Nick.

Built a handle that connects two bucket caddies together, which makes it easier to move them around.


Also switched to using Kwazar Sprayers for the exterior products that get used often. They spray great and less refilling.

I have an underbody lance for my pressure washer that worked pretty good for getting the mud off the underside of the truck, but it was a little awkward to use without banging it into the ground or the bottom of the truck, or dragging it along the driveway. I thought some casters on it would be useful, and found this furniture dolly at the hardware store. I bolted a Quick Fist clamp onto it to attach it to the lance.

Now, I can sit on my stool and run this under the truck with ease. It even propels itself back and forth by just twisting the wand to vary the direction of the stream. The Quick Fist clamp makes removal easy, so I can use just the curved lance without the casters to get the wheel wells, suspension components, and the backs of the wheels and tires.

This is genius.
