    Stoner's invisible glass cleaner on a microfiber towel

    Followed up by newspaper.

    If it wasn't for the millions of chips and huge crack in the windshield, you'd never know it was there.

    It hasn't rained here in months, has been 100 degrees and sunny for weeks, and the forecast called for 0% chance of rain.... so of course 5 minutes after I washed and detailed Ol' Red it rained for 7 minutes.

    Not enough to do anything for the drought but just enough to dirty and spot up the entire truck :(

    Damn that's unfortunate bro!

    I've heard of using the newspaper with a window cleaner and have seen a lot of reviews saying it works really well. Just curious, does the ink from the paper not smear all up on the glass or what? :notsure:

    I'm not sure of the brand as it was given to me. He was calling it "Button Trac". I'll see what I can dig up on it.

    Custom high lift mount in bed. 1 foot of 3in angle. And its solid. The cable I made for a lock. It's nice and flush with the sides so its not in the way. And the head of the jack is under the toolbox so its somewhat out of the rain and elements.

    All I could do today was sit and stare at my little Taco. :p
    Can't work on it until me and my best friend are done building his garage, because that's where we'll be doing the tear-down.
    Can't wait to work on this sucker!
