I used Zaino on both the rides, I like the results, oh and I installed my bed cover last week so these are the first pics of it too, not bad for coming off a 99 L

Looks GOOD, Michael! I think your neighbor could use some Zaino on his white truck. :D

I picked up a bucket (incl. clay-bar) of Tropi-Care products yesterday and am looking to treat the L, Liberty and T-Bird to it soon in the new garage. The L CERTAINLY needs it - been neglecting my girl.:(

I'll be sure and post up post-TC pics. knana

they were waxed inside the garage, I have a small a/c unit in there, so it was very nice and comfortable :D

It needs more than just wax :rolleyes:

the clay bar is worth every penny, it is a night and day difference after using, its amazing how much stuff is actually on the paint


Looking good! :tu:

My goal is to look like yours (but in black), and run like Rock's

I agree 100% on the clay bar. I used one for the first time last December on my L. i could not believe the crap that was on my paint. After doing it, the finish was smooth as glass.

By the way...A/C in the garage????? I just can't think of anything to say at this moment......:eek2: . Must be nice...LOL.

Truck and car look good. Nice job.:tu:

I certainly agree on the clay-bar treatment.

Zaino's a PITA to apply according to directions w/best results.

Been there, done that. :cool:

Why NOT A/C in the garage??? Mine's got a pair of vents run to the garage from the downstairs unit (tho I have them closed right now); my Heat Transfer professor, when he found out I was building the house in Frisco, told me in no uncertain terms to make damn sure I insulated the garage fully, and to get the aluminized Tyvek house wrap (blew it on both parts, but the builder got real stupid about that--I shoud'a insisted), and to put a window unit in the garage to climate-control it. ;) I may do this for the present garage, I don't think the extra ducting will do the downstairs unit any good.

:ron: Alert

When we thought we were going to Las Vegas, the house we were going to make an offer on had been the sales office for the neighborhood. It had central air and heat.. :nana2

Up here, you dont need ac so much as heat in the winter.. So I installed a 30k BTU ventless heater.. it was cheap but I have to run the dehumidier because it puts off so much moisture.. :flaming:
But I have a warm garage. :tu:

I've been trying to find something good to use on my seats. I've been using just KIWI suede and nubuck cleaner, then the protector (supposed to repel water and stains). Its cheap and works fairly good. Its made for suede shoes but seems to work fine. Anybody have anything else they clean suede with i'de like to know.

I just threw on the http://www.wetokole.com/ to begin after picking up the L. Red inserts with red-piping. :D Very happy with them, thus far.

I might pull them off and treat the seats, for good measure, though.

When I got mine, Bankston treated it with a product that they were using at the time, I can't remember the name (but I know where the stuff is, or I'll ask the wife), but it was an overall-protectant product, with stuff for the paint, interior, and seats. It worked VERY well: [:ron:]one day, I had cut my elbow pretty badly, but didn't realize it; I got in the truck to go home, and when I got there, I realized I had bled on the console--including the alcantra. Well, I grab some water and a rag, and I wet the blood down, and it cleaned right off--it never penetrated the alcantra. And, until recently, any water or coffee spills refused to penetrate, and would merely bead up on the material. Good stuff.:tu:[/:ron:]
