Detailing Wildtrak

[Sanner]

Does anyone pop their flares off every time you wash to get the grime out from behind?
Just wondering… I still haven’t taken delivery yet but that’s one thing That’s been on my mind.

Not for tires. Works great on vinyl and the hard plastics.

What do you use for the tires to make them shine?

Do you use it on your Bronco? I typically use Meguiars, but I keep getting white residue on every dark surface, including my wheels. I hate it.

Hey, I use Meguire's Ultimate Wash n Wax. Works great and beads up nicely. Your issues may be due to the minerals in the water, being in Fla. I'm in NJ (unfortunately) and it works well...

I use Monkey spit in the summer on the bike and cars. Haven't used it on the Bronco yet, not enough nice weather days to bother. I don't see myself using Monkey spit on the MIC top, too much of an area and a pain in the ass. IMO...

I do if I get into mud as the flares can hold quite a bit inside the water relief channels molded into them. Also, I don't want the grit between the flare and paint causing issues with rubbing/scratching. I may spray some under coating on that lip to provide long term rust protection.

They come off super easy with the 1/4 turn fasteners.

Of course you Wild Track bunch may never get dirty.

Your undercoating idea is interesting. I had a similar thought of the grit wearing the paint. So, I was planning adding some PPF (wrap or spray) along the arch between the fender extension / flares once the weather gets warmer...

I saw a posting the other day where someone used 'Scrubbing Bubbles' to clean the Fender Flares. Came out nice and clean. Then, I would guess, any treatment to keep them black would suffice.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make sure the roof top and the fender flares don’t get that ashy look after washing the car?

"That ashy look"

Lol I needed that laugh. It is so true though.
