  1. Its a yukon denali xl 09.  We bought it new, this has just shown up the last couple of years.  I really hate to take off the trim piece, its my wifes ride, not sure she'd be into that mod.  plus with kids its a good ding guard.  I really just want to minimize the look of it so I can polish and ceramic coat the vehicle.  We do live in southern indiana so yes we get wintery mixed roads, think its usually that beet juice stuff they put down.  

  2. On this vehicle I like the look of the trim and removing two of them and polishing and reinstalling is a bit more work than I was hoping for. Would a chemical of sorts help me work it off without harming the paint.  This pic is me up close under the trim so its pretty exaggerated from that angle, but still bugs me.  Thanks for that idea though, guess its an option if I want to go to all that trouble!

  3. So I have here what has been accumulating on my wifes DD/family hauler.  What looks to be a calcium build up of sorts I guess on the bottom of the door trim where water seems to drop for days after a wash. I am hoping to polish this beast and put on the new ceramic coating in the near future so I'd love to remove this first.  I have tried in the past clay bar, but it really didn't budge.  So if anyone has some suggestions I'm all ears.

  4. With the lights, one thing to consider for correction purposes would be instead of running a strip down the center of the ceiling, run two sets, on each side closer to the walls running the length of the garage.  That would give you better side lighting.

  5. Hello, I have some satin black wheels on my truck so maybe I can help.  I don't like it when they get dry or chalky looking so after I wash my truck in any normal manner, depending on my needs for protection at that moment heres what I do.  If its just a regular wash I hit them with detail spray when drying like i do with the rest of the truck, gives them some pop.  If I'm looking to protect them and give them some sheen, I hit them with quick sealant for now.  But once I run out/and or I sometimes use guard and gloss before I dry them.  Both of those are easy and give them a nice sheen plus protection.  I haven't tried brilliant glaze on them yet but I bet that would give them a nice sheen too.  Good luck, and those are some nice looking rims!

  6. Mine is probably over kill, for my needs, but hey why not!  5.5 acres and a roughly 120 yard gravel driveway.  But we are asphalting or fiber mesh concreting it very soon or this spring.  I'm sure you all can feel my pain with 2 black vehicles and a classic car the long gravel drive aint cuttin it!  

  7. She sure looks purdy. 

     

    Your welcome to park that in my barn for the winter....with the keys, and she will see plenty of use lol.

     

    I bet you would let me park it there! Lol. I'm sure I'll get it out for some random projects. Still learning, just got it this spring. It's been great for mowing my back field area, maintaining gravel drive, and yard/dirtwork. We moved in to our new house a year ago so trying to get the kinks out of the new lawn. It comes in handy for pulling my zero turn out when it gets stuck by the pond. Hell I even had to pull over my neighbors tractor when he laid it on its side. They sure are handy.

  8. While checking antifreeze and adding diesel additive, I went ahead and Washed up the tractor before it gets cold. Odds are it'll only come out now for driveway snow removal. I sprayed off all accessories, then washed the main tractor. I then hit it with a little guard and gloss for a little protection. I hope my neighbors didn't see me. I may sneak out and hit some hoses and tires with vrt to help preserve things. I plan to have it a while! Sadly the tractor won the last garage stall over my truck. Looking forward to my new Adams package as I think the new leather air freshener will do nicely in the cab.

  9. speaking of which ^    What is the most economical way to maintain a descent (upper 50's ish )temp in a detached insulated garage in the winter.  I've heard and experienced the infrared ones can get costly, as we used one in our basement last year and it seemed to jump  the electric bill quite a bit.  In Southern Indiana we can see teens through 30's pretty regularly in the winter.  Along with detailing supplies I keep my Firebird and Tractor out there so it would be nice to have it temp controlled somewhat.
