    Thanks man. Honestly, I didn't notice too much of a difference. There isn't much of a whine on the highway either. They only come in E-rated so they are pretty beefy but I love them. :cheers:

    Sorry, got busy the last few days. It's probably the spray wax out there(thats my opinion from the ones I have tried), not as good as most of the paste or some liquid waxes out there, it's just the nature of the beast. But it's a lot easier and still lasts a couple weeks if it's nice out. I haven't spent a lot on towels yet. I usually get microfibers from local stores, usually whats on sale. I want to get some nice towels but I haven't gotten there yet. I will say the best way I have found to wash microfiber towels without buying special soaps is to use a scent and softener free detergent. I use ALL free and clear and a couple table spoons-ish of dawn dish soap in a hot wash. When you dry make sure to put on the LOWEST or no heat setting and ABSOLUTELY no dryer softener sheets! In the dryer is where the most damage can occur. It can melt the "fibers" and end not soaking up liquids or possibly even scratching your vehicle if the fibers really get melty.

    Thanks, I use the microfiber towels to remove wax and have great results. I'll continue to use them with the spray Wax. :thumbsup:

    This is a good way to accidentally damage your paint. This is what you want to use to take off decals. It will take them right off, no residue, no scratches, no effort. Just put it in a drill and go to town.

    I totally agree! So far I have had luck with my personal vehicles without purchasing this tool, it takes a little more time but I'm ok with that. If I did it for others I would definitely look into something like this. I have used one like that a long time ago to remove a pinstripe off a truck, worked very well!

    Almost looks like a spruce in that pic. I also have a stage 3 front. How do you like the TC rear?

    This truck is like a chamaeleon in the outdoors. It can be green, brown, gray, or tan depending on its mood. :headbang:

    TC rear? I'm running TC UCAs and Stage 3 with dakars in the rear. Regardless, I love my setup. Stoked for some armor and lights coming soon!
