First Detail - Adamized the Raptor

[AbnMP13]

Sounds like a great idea!

Photo formally requested...standing by for tomorrow.

As formally requested by @TheWolf : 1/4 treated plywood from Lowes, was like a 3x3 piece. Wasn't full 4x8 sheet. I cut it to 19" diameter, wished I'd have cut it to maybe 19.5".





To store it I run a bungee cord thru the handle and hang it so it doesn't get beat up or warped.

Hey @TheWolf I need your help tell me where to send the plane ticket so you can save my truck. I destroyed my paint yesterday and have pinstripes going down the entire side of my truck on both sides top to bottom. Don't ask me how but even my tailgate got it lol. I'm afraid to even wash it because I don't want to be depressed. But I sure did have one helluva good time doing it lol.

Step One: order Boatec front and rear fenders immediately!!! Then all you will need to concentrate on is the doors and the tailgate. Cuts way down on the work!!!

Step Two: order that full body wrap you've always wanted.

See, it's that easy......

Time for a two-step polish with the Cyclo @cbcgeneral.

I also think once you wash it and strip off the sealant, some of what you are seeing will go away, may just be surface marring.

Ya figured so you think the Cyclo will be better to use than the Rupes21. I don't think I have orange microfiber pads for the cyclo so I'll just order some. I was kind of thinking it may be easier to just toss this truck and buy another black one.

I forgot you had the Rupes 21. Use that on the big areas, it will correct faster, but you will still need the Cyclo to get into the tighter areas and up the pillars.

Let me know if you decide to toss it, I will pay you salvage value lol.

If it's pre adamized it will wash right off, take a video

After seeing the wheel shield that @AbnMP13 built, I decided to make one out of a planter saucer and a plastic handle. Figured this would be a little less work and mess than cutting one out of plywood.

To attach the handle, I used some screw posts and plastic screw head covers.











The shield is about 1" bigger all around the wheel, but since the Tire Shine has to be spread evenly with an appicator, I can dress the portion of the tire behind the shield with the Pro Tire Hex Grip Applicator.

The plant saucer is very lightweight and a little flimsy, will have to see how it holds up.

And yes, the tire is dirty...been nothing but cold and snow for a month now.

Here's some links to the parts on Amazon. I got the screw posts and covers from the hardware store.
