Order these rear inner fender , took 3 hours to install. Had rip out the fender to install them, had to order loctite for the bolts , 3m double sided tape and extra fender clips off amazon . Whole process was pretty easy , nothing fit as expected , but after some work and drilling of one new hole.. all done .

Finally installed my rear bumper reflector LED lamps. Running them as taillamps. Brighter than pic indicates. PITA to do though. May start on my mirror LEDs next.

This looks great. Is the LED a kit or DIY?

I have this and love it. Only hard part was contorting my old body to fit in there and install it.

What's your detailing process? I'm not confident in my abilities to do ceramic properly. Is this a relatively easy, fool-proof process?
So pretty much I paint correct first. I use a nano mitt but You can use clay. Just make sure you have a ton of liquid spray wax for proper glide. I buy a gallon of concentrated waterless car wash. It can be used as a spray lubricant for clay or nano mitt. That way you aren’t wasting money with a spray wax for glide. Once you can rub ur hand across the paint with a plastic baggy on your hand and have no grab your are good. Sometimes you might have to use an iron x product if you live in an area with a lot of acid rain and crap in the air.

After that I rewatch real quick. Just cause I like to. Takes like 10 mins.

Dry

Then I polish the whole truck. I like the Wolfgang one cause you apply and just wipe off. No flash time. I use a swirl remover if needed. That only happens years into a truck.

After polish I use my spray paint prep. It’s like an acohol wipe down to make sure the paint is clean. That’s a quick spray and rag and run.

After that sealant goes on. The Wolfgang one is 30 minute flash. I put it on with a microfiber pad and take it off with a microfiber towel.

For winter I top with a wax layer. Not one that needs to flash. Just a wipe on and wipe off one. Others will say no need. I like that extra layer. Gives me another layer of demension to the paint also.


So I know you guys are going to say that’s a lot but once you have your system down it’s 3 hrs tops with a truck that is washed weekly or every other week. If you let the truck go all season ya then it’s a full day into another day job but I wash indoors in the winter so I just make it part of my routine to wash weekly. That way a wash and reload of the sealant is like 60 mins to 90 if I take my time.

Over the years I bounced between pinnacle, Wolfgang, and blackfire. Wolfgang is my favorite for past 6 years.

I have always and only used Korean mocrofiber made by cobra.

That’s about it.

Oh suds for washing. Whatever is cheap and has no wax in it. It’s all about keeping your water clean and working top down and keeping your microfiber mitts clean.

And all my microfiber is washed in cold water heavy duty cycle with microfiber rejuvenator. Dried on coolest setting for dryer so you don’t melt the microfiber strands.

Well, my safe space got over occupied, and ruined shortly after!

Now if only I didn't lose mine in an unfortunate boating accident.
