That makes a lot of sense. The paint on the truck while smooth because I recently clayed it, was no longer slick after the automated car wash. It stripped my synthetic wax. Now I understand why when I washed the truck yesterday it did not beed up anymore. Thank you as you answered my question...

Howdy everyone. I am a DIY hobbiest. I enjoy cleaning vehicles for fun, therapy, a hobby. I am not doing this for a living or money. Here are my thoughts and opinions on my foam cannon experience. I noticed that it is trendy right now to use a foam cannon. When you look at YouTube videos it...

Ok, problem solved. I went out this morning before it got hot. Truck was in the shade. I washed the truck like normal with Meguiars Shampoo Plus, foam gun on a hose, mitt, rinse, drying microfiber, rinse bucket with grit guard. Much better results. The truck looks normal now. I will not try an...

Hello everyone. Normally I clean our pickup myself using the normal tools. Foam gun, rinse bucket with grit guard, microfiber drying towel. You know the deal. Well, it has been so hot with 110+ heat index that for the first time in years....Wifey and I drove our truck through a touchless gas...

The truck is in good shape. It is our daily driver. I am just curious more than anything. The truck was recently clayed with a mitt and waxed a few weeks a go. I was just wondering how and if people use a pressure washer on a vehicle. I am content with what I am using now. I am just a DIY and...

Hello everyone. I recently got an old pressure washer running for my parents. I was curious as to how well a pressure washer could clean our farm truck. Normally I use a foam gun with a clean bucket of water with grit guard to rinse the wash mitt. Is using a pressure washer a good idea or will...

Thank you. I have sent an email to the company.

Hello everyone. I went out today to wash the mud off of our farm truck. I have the AutoGeek soap foam sprayer thingy that connects to a water hose. The unit works but the slide adjuster forbthe soap will not move. It is stuck in hole three and is discolored....not shiny grass. How do I fix this?

Thank you very much. The idea is to keep the truck and cover clean and protected. I am more concerned with protection and function compared to pretty and shiny. The cover is for a daily driver and working farm truck, not a mall crawler.

Thank you very much for the reply. I am certainly not against buying a kit like this, but can cleaning and protecting be done without buying another $35 kit? What other items can you use that I may already have? What are safe alternatives to the $35 kit?

Hello everyone. My wife and I want a tonneau cover for our truck. The idea is not for security but rather to keep items out of the weather. We use the bed for hauling feed and mucking on the farm. We are looking into roll up covers because of their cost and they allow full bed access. They sell...

Thank you very much. I could not have done it without the great folks from the forum.

I am back. I followed the advice in Mike’s video on this forum. I was able to take compound and a medium pad, then polish on a light pad, then wax on a foam pad and restore the headlights. They were cloudy but not discolored. Now they are clear and smooth.

Hello everyone. I have a 2011 Ford Ranger with headlights that need a touch up. They are fine except for their top edge near the hood. How do I know if they are factory coated or simply untreated plastic? Is this a case where less is more,, meaning start with a compound and then lightly sand if...

I will add my imput. You can learn to do this like I have. I am legally blind and the folks on here helped me a great deal and walked me through the process. Go for it and enjoy.
