    I also recommend that you clay before applying. Which I hope you already did before you waxed. :)
    The Synthetic sealant is basically the same process as waxing.
    Which reminds me. Use a de-greasing soap to remove existing wax before applying this.

    Edit: Use this sauce after you use the sealant and you'll have an amazing finish.

    'Sup everybody, I love all the trucks with all the mods I've been looking at, but got a question on all the 16's & 17's with the PRO grills, can you tell me who has the OEM and who has the EBay grills? They all look good, I want to get rid of my CHROME DENTURES on my MGM DCOR to black it out and wonder if the EBay grills are any good. Thanks

    Plain old white vinegar works very well for removing water spots, I also use it on our Sea-Doo's prior to waxing them.

    Hey JD, that grill looks good, so does your truck. I was looking at th SR grill and thought how it looked on the OR, where did you get it and is it a direct fit? Thanks

    Thanks! I picked it up at the dealer. It comes with a new grille surround and it swaps right out. Two ten millimeter screws, and two plastic push pins and a careful tug, and it comes right off.

    Anybody in central California looking for a DCSB camper shell/topper? I have an awesome Snugtop Rebel topper. It has a nice little bright led light built in. Fully carpeted, and it even has wire cage on the inside of the windows perfect for reinforcement and or a dog to keep the window screens from punctures. More than sturdy enough for a RTT as well.

    Lol...got it. When I read your post the other day I went and checked to see if I had accidentally turned it to 4H and didn’t know it.
