Awesome job! Man I just love those trucks

He certainly doesn't baby that thing does he?

Awesome job. Truck looks great! I have a question...a buddy of mine wants me to do his Raptor for him...interior/exterior wash n wax. Going to apply Megs UFF for him. But what product do you recommend for all that hard black plastic exterior trim and air extractor on hood? I have crystal seal, and have used that before on the hard plastic surfaces, but would Duragloss 253 or Optimum Leather Protectant work better? Thanks! Looking for durability of the product and UV protection.

I would use WETS or McKee’s Trim.

Happy to help. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

here is a thread for my truck, some pictures highlight the plastic areas.
I have a short video on instagram ( gavdetails ) that shows the hydrophobic properties of the DLux

Nice work! What did you use on the tonneau?

Per the owners request, nothing.
He works on construction sites and told me that it's a dust magnet with any kind of dressing. It may look "dressed" because the driveway was in the shade when I took the after picture.

I would like to use CarPro DLux on my cover ( same model, Truxedo LowPro QT )
