    The straw does help to get the material into the cavities. I bought one of the spray can trigger grips before I event started the application. It sprays exactly like spray paint...after I got the cavities coated to my satisfaction, I gave up on the straws and just applied the material like spray paint.

    I like chemical guys butter wet wax. Also griots spray on detail works as a good clay lube. The ceramic stuff smells like ass compared to non-ceramic.

    Absolutely! My go to for that would be McMaster-Carr, they’ll have just about every fastener you’ll ever need with no minimum purchase quantity.

    * If you go stainless, make sure to use anti-seize on your fasteners.

    That is new information for me and good to know....and could explain why the fancy license plate screws (unfortunately not bolts :( ) the auto broker gave us on the RAV4 are now a permanent part of the car. For bike parts I use a tiny bit of grease but I suppose for an auto it's different (depending on the importance of the part staying attached?).
    Now, do I leave those screws in the RAV4 until we sell it 10 years from now, or figure out how to remove them? It will probably depend on how motivated I get.

    The seizing or galling shouldn’t happen between dissimilar metals, but stranger things have happened. Also making sure the threads are free of burrs, sand, or other debris is a good rule of thumb. We went through a couple containers of anti-seize on the bridge that I just built in Michigan. And yes that’s exactly why a dab of grease on bike fasteners.

    I will caution you anti-seize magically ends up on everything. In fact the most dangerous part of anti-seize is to get it on your clothes and sit down on the wife or girlfriends white couch. :anonymous:

    None to speak of, just enjoying it for the moment.
    Sound distinctly like someone speaking from experience, and a rather embarrassing one! Note to self NEVER buy a white couch, ever...

    When I’m done working in the garage now I go through a DeCon process that makes hazmat clean up look like taking a quick shower.

    I did do one thing to the Grey truck today…

    D7E42FD1-54B7-4BA4-AD0E-5D4FCDBFB730.jpg

    Feels good so far. The snow was starting to stick so I didn’t give ‘er the beans. Being a manual I don’t have the gear hunting issue that autos have, but definitely more responsive & smooths out the accelerator lag/bobble. Also adjusted the alternator amperage to work with the AGM battery in the process.

    Hope you’re alright. That sucks, just remember Tacoma’s can be replaced but people can’t. I’ve totaled a few my self. :pout:

    Vehicles are replaceable. Hopefully you and any passengers were okay.

    Husband and I spent a few hours in the ER. It wasn't our fault so I won't get into the details.. but we did roll at 65-70mph, super impressed with how well it performed. We are lucky to be alive.
