    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Today I finished off my 2014 F150 by using my DA to apply 2 light coats of Megs Ultimate Wax followed by buffing with a white microfibre cover. Due to difficulties taping during the 105/205 stages I had a bit of residue on my plastic fender flares. I found a bottle of Megs Trim Detailer in my...

    ONR on salty cars - Question about drying

    If my truck is dirtier than usual (or more salt covered) I will tend to use the ONR towel "wetter" - in other words I don't wring it out as much so that as I wipe the excess fluid flows over the panel to help loosen the next pass. For my four-door pickup I sometimes will dump and refill the...

    Cleaning WeatherTech Liners, opinions welcome....

    Looking at some of the pictures posted in this thread it appears that the majority do not have the same issue I have when cleaning my WT mats - that is despite how stiff a brush I use and how hard I scrub when they dry the edges of the grooves are still brown. I've tried APC, APC+, ONR, all...

    Removing Surface Residue - Rust Protection

    Vehicle in question is a 2014 Ford F150. Since purchasing it new I have had it sprayed with Krown rust protection annually. I know that the Krown product "creeps" over time and therefore expected some product to be present around door jambs, tail-lights, etc., but what I have noticed recently...

    The importance of Iron Removers/Coated Vehicles

    While it's not exactly the same result as what you experienced, I notice that whenever I use an iron remover on my white F150 it really seems to make the paint 'pop'. There are times where I only decontaminate the tailgate, and I swear when I'm done the back of the truck is a different shade of...

    How to use Motorcraft Touch Up Paint?

    On the subject of Motorcraft touch-up paint, has anyone gotten a bottle of it that actually matches the paint on the vehicle? I have an Oxford White F150 and I've tried both Motorcraft and Duplicolor and compared to the factory colour the touch-up is yellow (exaggerated but you get the idea) I...

    Iron-X eats it's bottle

    Both bottles I've had discolour themselves something fierce, but no leaks. I also remove the sprayer and put the cap back on to stop the odour from permeating my workshop area.

    Ford Clear Lens - Instrument Cluster Bezel

    ** Update ** So today I decided to pull the cluster and hit it with everything i've got. I took it down to my workbench and started with Plastic-X on a foam applicator in circular motions over the entire cluster face, working it for about 30-45 seconds. I removed it by spraying the cluster...

    Plastic speedometer/gauges cover scratched

    You did reply, but it was to my thread, not this one. I had a flashback when I started reading this one - the OP has a 2014 F150 just as I do and obviously has the same issue. I found the replacement lens is just over $30 so I might give a go with plastic-x on mine and see how it turns out.

    Ford Clear Lens - Instrument Cluster Bezel

    I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with correcting the clear plastic lens that covers the instrument cluster in my 2014 F150. It has to be the softest clear plastic I have ever come across; I think I scratch it every time I drive it and glance down at the speedometer! I have always...

    Do you wash your car if it's going to rain?

    I've washed my trucks IN the rain. Seriously, though, only because they were dirty. My neighbours must think i'm nuts.

    2011 Wicked White Evo X

    Great work, but I'm curious why they couldn't find a better place to put the front plate? I see the intercooler hiding where it would normally go - it's cars like this that make having a front plate a PITA.
