New Bird Slayer

[Mr Roarke]

Let me grab the girls and my shotgun.We will be right over.One of the new puppies has already spotted them.

Nice looking pup! You're getting more snow than us. We just got a dusting this am. I'm just west of DesMoines.

panels between the windows are painted the same as the vehicle. They were a matte black on the orange raptor.

The window cutout is quite a bit lower and extends farther back. The mirror is about an inch longer at the lower leading edge and tapers aft. Gives a much better view along the side. Also shows the relocated door lock buttons. They are much larger with better spacing between buttons.

NOT painted > shiny black plastic that'll quickly show marks > same on every 15-17 F150
#you'll soon see

best solution > vinyl wrap

Backup light is about twice the length of the old lights. when it is turned on with the rear bed lights you can see anything you want to.

No swirls if you use either of these products everywhere and nothing else. Works great on my airplane, motorcycles, and of course Raptors. Its what used on aircraft canopies to ensure that the view is not distorted by any extraneous marks.

The Plexus is highly recommended for shooting glasses. Its anti-static properties really keep the dust away.

You will not feel the rough static bumps that are often on surfaces when wiped the next day after using other products.
The 303 is great on wheels and tires. Love the UV protection. No ugly shine.
Also wonderful on the bed liner and running boards.
Leather seats and everything else inside the cab get 303. Raptor still looks new after 7 years and 148,000 miles.

Nothing touches my Raptor that I wouldn't use on my shooting glasses.
Every inch of my pontoon boat gets it too.

Here is a shot of the new tread pattern showing the giant diagonal sipes. That should really keep the rubber clean and improve traction.
To protect the exterior I have always used just 2 products. Both made in the USA . Plexus plastic cleaner. Mainly for Aircraft canopies but now you see it being used on eyeglasses. Great anti-static properties and shine. My other favorite is 303 Aerospace protectant. This is great everywhere. Tires, wheels, dashboard, doors,seats,bumpers, bed liners, exterior paint. Kitchen counters.Everywhere!!!
