    Yeah there’s only one actually touchless wash near me and it’s a gas station one. It does not do a good job lol

    I’m curious to see if it does a better job after the paint sealant is applied though. Allegedly dirt and stuff will wash off much more easily so a cheap touchless wash might be more effective.

    I ceramic coated my truck and it does help some. I did the coating myself so it’s not up to probably mediocre standards :rofl:

    I probably need to do a light polish and try again but it takes a loooong time to do everything needed for it. I’m also impatient and that does not mix well with car detailing.

    I’m interested to see how yours turns out. When are you planning on getting that done?

    Nice!

    went through the car wash, was pretty nice and not packed at all. Came back and used ceramic boost spray to get the few water spots and a little grime that was left. I’ll look great for about 10 min :rofl:


    It’s a shame the metallic flakes don’t show up in pictures.

    Good afternoon MD. Met @Scrovak on Friday and bought his Max Axe. Didn’t really need it but I’m old enough to get it if I want it. Worked a pretty nice edge on it today. May get some use when I’m up at my brothers property.

    It’s so shiny!! I bought my truck at night and had no idea there were blue metallic flakes in the paint. The next morning I walked out to my driveway and thought I was having a stroke lol

    That is a gorgeous edge on that blade, well done my guy! I kept mine under my rear seats and it came in handy so many times. I'm glad she went to a good home!

    Pros/cons?

    Pros- they look cool, air from higher point might be cooler and less dirty, looks cool

    Cons- from eBay (look the same as arb mold), not for deep water fording, no desert or highly dusty areas, gotta cut a 4” hole in the fender. I don’t understand if the head needs to be facing rear during rain/snow/automatic car wash

    What would you recommend that fits deep water and dusty?

    I could be wrong but the rest of the truck is the limiting factor that the snorkel wouldn’t really be a good snorkel for water crossing. I’m pretty sure if you’re up to the air box, that’s too deep lol.

    For the dust, I meant there isn’t really many places near us that are really dusty like that.

    I still like the way they look and still heavily consider getting one since I’m planning to keep my truck for at least 4-6 years, if not longer.

    @Scrovak you should get one!

    but not the one I posted, it doesn’t come with the template for the holes.

    I do want one at one point, but I have other waterproofing stuff I need to prioritize like my diff breathers. And as I recently learned, the starter isn't exactly waterproof.... :mudding::rofl:
