What's with the username change?

old account (DoveTailGnomeo) had been logged off somehow and when I tried to log back in it wasn't letting me, I had my password reset after a couple of attempts to reset it and even when it had been reset it still wasn't allowing me to login. after many attempts of trying to reset it and many request for help with no response, I decided to just create a new account. timeline of this happening was almost three weeks.

Threw on some Anzo Ubar headlights and some wheel spacers. Not too bad those Anzo lights. Does anyone have any experience with pulling these apart? Looking into doing some LED accents and changing the LED bars.

That may be the next set of lights I do a build with. We shall see.

Cleaned and conditioned the seats with Adams leather cleaner and conditioner. They really didn't look as dirty as the white micro fiber cloth let on, sure a good smelling product!

Also hats off to @AdamsPolishes. Apparently I got over charged for shipping, got a $10.50 refund check for shipping in the mail today. I would have never noticed the extra otherwise!

Nice work @The Macf!

I know that took a lot of time and effort, but it does look extra shiny!


Lots of pressure washing

Foam cannon at about 30/70 mix

Double bucket wash

Clayed the whole truck (F*CK THAT WAS TERRIBLE)

One coat of buttery wax

Two coats of Americana

HGG (soaked towel method) on everything that isn't paint

Clean glass

Seal glass

Towel soaked in SVRT on all black plastic and rubber

I'll do the interior along with the wheels and tires tomorrow while they are off for rotation.

The only real lingering problem is the brown crud that is stained into all the bricks in the grill.

Glad you liked the Leather Conditioner!

That's the first I've heard of a refund check lol.

Mac did you take off the rear emblem when you paints it or dipped it or whatever you did? And if so how do you remove it?

Pulled all the badges.

Plastidipped the rear ford emblem black and put a white and black sticker over it.

Bought a new Raptor emblem, spray painted it black and stuck it over the holes on the left side.

But how do you remove the ford oval, is there a trick to it? Just muscle it?
