What did u do to your raptor today?

[AdamsPolishes]

Iv been working on the passengers side door for about an hour and a half. It's about 75% done. I'm sure this is going to require power tools lol. Just don't know if I'd be better off buying a buffer and tackling it myself or taking it somewhere. We really don't have a "good" detail shop around here. I'm afraid it would just come out worse than it went in. Glad yours came out fairly easily.

What clay bar are you using? What are you using for lubrication?

Different grades of clay are more or less effective at removing paint overspray. A clay that is good at removing paint would be sticking to your fingers, and require lots of Detail Spray.

Once you do get it cleaned off, make sure to apply a paint sealant so that next time the paint won't stick so bad.

Oh man that's not good at all. I used the clay bar to get all these rust speckles off my truck they were everywhere. I parked too close to someone grinding steel at my shop after an hour of using the bar I finally got it all off.

You can save some time and effort removing iron contamination by using Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner to dissolve the bonded iron particles. Follow up with the clay bar to remove any other bonded contaminates, and then apply sealant or wax to protect.

That looks really good thank you for the advice

I just used a clay bar kit from Walmart for $20 and it got the job done.

That's weird that the video is different once you quoted the post.

Here is the direct link on YouTube.

Great! The Quick Sealant is good stuff, especially on the wheels.

Try the chemical guys heavy duty clay bar (black) and a whole bunch of lube. Took epoxy based bed liner overspray right off of my truck.

Yesterday I installed a new audio system with DAB, FM and even frequencies, Traffic announcement and proper RDS Functionality.
All together with European Navigation.
Thanks to Auto Henschel who shipped the units to me.

I'm now an expert in dismantling the dashboard. It's easy and straightforward (thx to the movie from Noah).

I wish I knew you needed one, I have a spare in the barn.

Still have that spare windshield? I might take it off your hands

I won't be going to Pine Barrens, but I'm thinking about Rausch Creek sometime in October, unless i decide i want to go sooner. ill be sure to let you know though

Cool definitely give me a heads up. Why don't you want to do the Pine Barren trip? Don't say it's because you're afraid of pin stripping your truck. By October 10th most of the overgrowth should be gone and the trails cleared up so it shouldn't be an issue. But just in case I'm taking the white truck lol.
