Like the HD grille myself

 

Ya you're right, I thought I might like the look of just the caps but there it doesn't seem right. But on my 02 the white cap did seem right. Dang black truck!

I'll look into the pillars. I gotta slow down my spending a little but or the ol'lady might get a little upset. Unless its on something she won't notice. Ha

Did you paint the rubber trim too? Yours looks glossy

 

No, just a high gloss dilution of hyper dressing. Same dilution as I use on my sidewalls.

The pillar covers are about $40 shipped, she won't notice it. Maybe not even the difference it makes, my g/f wouldn't notice

 

I was talking to an ex the other day and pointed out about $3k worth of mods that she wasn't around for. "It looks pretty much the same . . ." Women

Well that's different. but one gallon that would last me the life time of this truck ha
It says you can dilute it to get different Sheen. Darren what do you use for dilution?

 

Well, I can tell you it ain't beer

By the gallon is the shiznit. Use it everywhere - get yerself some empty spray bottles and mix it in different dilutions depending where you want to apply it.

That would just be a waste of good beer

Once summer comes I'll try all this stuff, too cold here to do any of this anyway. I don't have a heated garage either.

Still waiting on my truck tho, Never get Geico they sure like to drag their feet. They haven't even okayed the estimate from the body shop yet and that's been over a week now.

 

As MGD already referred you to the product, I highly suggest getting it. No more bottled stuff off the shelf. Dilute yourself and last 2+ yrs doing it if you only do your own vehicles. I need to buy a gallon of Hyperdressing every 3 years it seems.

Off the top of my head, my two Hyper dressing specific bottle ( as seen here ) are at 4:1 and 1:1. First one being the low matte sheen, the 50/50 being the nice glossy sheen.

These days I like to hit my tire sidewalls with 1:1 in the summer, along with rubber gasket seals to keep them conditioned and nice looking as well. I also like to consider this maintenance. My 4yr old tires sitting in my garage are dry rotted in the treads some, but the side walls look great. The 1:1 I use on almost everything else plastic. The wheel wells, frame, wiper cowl, under the hood, bumper plastics...

Not many photos available, but here is my old truck. 1:1 on frame and tires.



Here is 4:1 on the trim and tires.

 

Thanks for all the info Darren and the help with the hyper dressing. Will being doing this when I get my truck back.
