    You’ll be safe as long as you don’t make eye contact with the bison. :D

    Good score! I though it was ironic that I payed half as much as the TC to fill it up with the Toyota transfer oil.

    South Dakota Family Dollar version. Add this nightmare fuel to the mix, I’m fairly sure he is our story’s Rafiki.

    Instructions not followed. I have seen…things. No man should see such things. I have traveled time and space and come to the edge which is Oblivion. Wait no that’s not it, I’m just in Hot Springs, SD. They have a waterfall so they got that going for them which is nice. Most famous for a mammoth fossil dig that is active and housed in a museum but not open now.

    I regretfully have to retract Senor Pepper as cheapo Rafiki. The food looks like this (below). Don’t judge a book by its cover I guess!

    I bought a scratch remover kit. I started on the front fender and bumper. IMG_5627.jpg 20 min of work and most evidence of “Adventure Time with Scratchy Pat and Friends” is gone.

    Here is what one side of the tree-plow end looks like after a wash:
    IMG_5631.png


    and here is the other side after a buff:IMG_5632.png


    The difference between polished quarter panel and the door.

    Not bad I say. I havent even waxed it yet!

    I was a big wax-twice-a-year guy. Then I tried ceramic spray. I ain't goin' back to wax. 20 mins to do the whole truck and it stays cleaner, longer. ALF's Nauti Blue may as well be black with all the dust it shows. The dust has been greatly reduced after I used the ceramic.

    We need a mod day where Dave demonstrates scratch removal and ceramic coating.
    I will happily volunteer my truck.

    Didn't get around to finalizing and placing the order until tonight. Yes! I was very confused because there didn't appear to be anywhere to enter a discount or promotional code at checkout, but there was a "How did you hear about us?" field, and I thought, what the hell, I'll enter the code there. It worked! Their site is so bad...

    Thank you for the tip @sparkystaco . First beer's on me next time I see ya.

    Absolutely, ceramic spray “wash and dry” type products are insanely good compared to actual wax. And they take next to no time to do. I’m just so used to calling it wax anyway. In reality I haven’t actually waxed a car in so long, I can’t remember the last time I did.
