Since the garage spring did its thing, the wife’s car used my garage bay and for the first time in a few years, my truck slept outside.

So of course, I had to take advantage of the lighting and get a picture before leaving for work.

I think between the paint colour, tint and badge 'edits', that the silver wheels and OWL tyres really work here

Yeah, the bits of chrome with the wheel color and OWL work perfect together!

That's a great color with the chrome and white letters - very clean look and build.

Thanks guys!

Made a run into one of my least favorite places (Walmart) and the Pennzoil Platinum was in stock, I grabbed the last two jugs of 5W30 full synthetic. I’m 750 miles from the next oil change, so a couple weeks, but I’ve got the oil and filter now.

Also grabbed some ceramic RainX. I’ve never tried it, my wife commented she wished her car had some on her windshield, so for $8 I’ll try it.

FYI, you can use any hybrid ceramic on your glass and on any black plastic for a long lasting hydrophobic result - i've almost stopped using trim stuff on my plastics now as the hybrid ceramic looks just as nice and lasts longer, and, more importantly, isn't affected by water like many trim products are.

Giving this stuff a shot:




I’ve never tried anything Iike this, so curious if it helps any. I did my truck and my wife’s Edge.

I’m a creature of habit, noticed over the past few years at this time on Amazon is when I’ve replaced wiper blades. I’ve ran Bosch Icons for years but decided I’d try something different.



Tried to put the first one on and they are made to be too universal with different snap on mounts. I couldn’t get it to “click” on and kept knocking the mount off, so they will be returned.

Oddly enough, I noticed this morning that Menards has better pricing on wiper blades than Advanced Auto. But, Menards doesn’t carry Icons. I’ll pick another there or order Icons again off Amazon.

Interesting that you posted the RainX. I had a chip fixed in my windshield yesterday. One of the questions the place asked was if I use RainX. He said it makes it harder to repair a chip.

Crap. I found a couple tiny little chips I’d like to have filled and had wondered exactly that about the RainX.

“Lasts up to 6 weeks” so maybe I consider that before another coat goes on. And I mean the smallest of chips, probably small enough to not mess with even.
