What did u do to your raptor today?

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.

Yea I don't know I'll have to wait and see as we get closer to the date.

My wrap on the side of my truck is carbon fiber vinyl and I try to avoid it with wax but got some in it and I can't get it out. Do you have anything I can use? And also do you have any wax/sealant that you can use on everything including back plastic trim pieces without getting the ugly faded looking stains from the wax?

I can't tell from the pic, is it matte vinyl or gloss?

To remove wax staining from matte vinyl, try using Brilliant Glaze. Rub it into the stained area, then wipe with a microfiber towel. If that does not fix it, then use diluted All Purpose Cleaner (1:1) sprayed onto a MF towel and then gently scrub. Rinse the area immediately, do not let the All Purpose Cleaner dry on the vinyl or paint. Do not work in the sun, make sure the surface is cool to the touch.

Make sure that any car shampoo you use does not contain any wax, the same goes for any spray on waxes, as they will lead to build-up and staining on matte vinyl.

Adam's Quick Sealant is a great product to use on the textured plastic trim pieces. You can also use Quick Sealant on the matte vinyl, just make sure you apply it and level it as shown in the product video. Quick Sealant is optically clear and leaves no residue behind. It lasts a long time and won't wash off as long as you use a balanced Car Wash Shampoo.

Also, for a daily driven truck, you are better off using a paint sealant than a wax, as the sealant will last about twice as long as a traditional carnuba paste wax. Adam's Liquid Paint Sealant is a great product to use. Protects well and still has a lot of shine.

Today I had to pretty much pull the right front fender (man there are a bunch of screws/plugs) to realign it after teaching my 15 year old off roading, it's much better now, still not perfect though.

Also worked on rearranging the UMP filter setup I have as with their bracket it sits just a bit too high and rubs on the hood.
