Well decided to Armor All the plastic on the back before work today.

Before



After



Also the guy's who drove this truck before me didn't know how to back in and hook up a trailer. So I got a new bumper I need to put on this weekend!






The bed rails have alot of work but the tailgate one came out pretty good for only a few minutes of cleaning.





Sooner or later probably just going to order all new plastic.

It will fade right back to where it was in about two weeks. Try using some Plasti-dip. I did that to mine bad they look brand new! Much cheaper than buying the new plastics. Should last longer than the armor all too.

Yeah but I don't really like Plasti-dip anymore unless it's my emblems. I'm going to buy new plastics because this was a work truck and they actually used it alot so the plastic is all messed up. This truck is going to be a show truck sooner or later and would rather have new ones

What did you use on your rims? I'm looking to do this but I do a bunch of off reading, so not sure how it would hold up.

Detailed my truck and my dads 04 mustang GT today. My arms are tired as it was done all by hand. Not to mention, his car is black and that color seems to be 1000x harder to work with than my white truck. I felt like I had to buff that thing forever to get it streak free.

On both I did the following:

Hand wash, clay, megs #7 show car glaze followed by two coats of liquid glass. Rain x on windows, trim dressing, tire dressing and chrome polish on wheels.

Ended up painting my grills on my doors today for my white truck. Both came out amazing! Letting them 100% dry over night and put them in tomorrow! Going to be construction theme (since it once was a construction truck) so orange and white is the color scheme
