Its amazing what gets into you paint.Can't wait for nice weather to do mine... the white paint looks grayish now. What clay bar did you use, It looks really good. :cheers:

I used the poorboys claybar. It worked ok but I plan on trying the DP brand out next time.

Tahoe lookin great Ryan. question about the mud guards. are they GM? i have the weather tech on my YD front and rear. and like an Ass i mounted them tight forgetting what the last ones did to the paint on my TBSS!! i just took them off and compounded the scratched area, touch it up and placed a rubber/electric tape on the truck side then re-installed the mud flaps, no there's a cushion and distance to stop the grains of sand from eating the paint...

 

just curious which ones you have on there and if you had to do any precautions due to paint rubbing.

 

on a side note i mother's mag/aluminum polished my stock chrome wheels today, what a uildup over the winter, i thought they were SCREWED but came out beter than new.. 2 hours later lol

They are Husky mudflaps. These came with pieces of the 3m clear stuff to put on the painted area's before installing

figures. i only used husly products in the past lol... my liners are husky i didn't see the "digital fit" ones by them so i went with a reputable company but i guess i won't be going to back to them in the future after seeing what they did to my paint. thanks

Also added some "bling" yesterday not by choice. Wife crashed the drivers side mirror so I bought a set of turn signal mirrors (by her request) and they came with chrome caps. I have mixed feelings on these. May eventually go back to the body colored ones we will see. She likes em so they will stay for now.

    • The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.                 
    • It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.  
    • They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

    • I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
