nope done the high pressure wash as well.

Found this today. I have a tendency for Yahoo and forget google but looks like this might be helpful. Gonna try the vinegar. Next will be muratic acid.

Vinegar worked great! Put some in an old spray bottle. Sprayer broke. Soaked vinegar on a towel and give it a light rub. I'm sure I put some scratches on there but I think they're manageable. Let it soak for about 5 minutes. Took a pressure washer to it and got off about a 1/3 of it.

Then went back to the house with a new spray bottle I just bought from Wallyworld. About 90% of the cement is gone. The little remaining specs will actually come off if I try to lightly chip it with my fingernail where as before it was immovable.

I'm gonna give it a third application and hopefully all will be gone. Thank God. I really didn't want to try the muraitic acid. Afterwards I'm gonna go for a full detail wash, clay bar, polish and wax.

Cleaned my exterior black vinyl parts with Meg's and then applied Mother's Back to Black. Mother's sucks. Didn't do a damn bit of good. Better go back to the detail/care section of the forum and find a better product. 8 bucks down the drain.

Installed the Platinum Battery Brain... I let the HU run with the volume turned up, bright lights on, and Lightforce running lights on until they went out. The engine was not running. I also had the laptop running along with my scanner that was set on the maximum output. When everything died, about 45 minutes duration, I then pressed the reset button on the remote and my truck started right up. Great product...

I pulled the rear driver door panel off to pull window up from a broken actuator so my daughter could drive the truck until I can get a new one in . Called Ford to complain that this is the third window actuator that has broke and told them I don't understand why the Koreans seem to be able to get their window to stay up and Ford can't . They said they understood my concern but in effect they didn't think three window actuators since 2005 was out of charactor and they would not put a new one in at no cost to me. I told them that I will not buy another Ford because of their poor engineering on such a simple system which has been used on vehicles for decades and they said they understood and thanked me for calling and wished me a nice day. They asked me for my email address so they could send me product updates . Of couse I politely declined.

That foam is killer. It's something parts stores never carry here. Ordered my first can. Megs quick detailer isn't bad.
