OUTDOOR LIFE TIP //

Apply under carriage coating to protect your truck against damage caused by corosive salt

BODY PROTECTANT //

  • To prevent stripping the vehicle's wax finish, use only automotive car wash products, not dishwashing liquids
  • Polish at least twice a year to maintain and protect the finish

EXHAUST PIPE //

  • The main reason for exhaust pipe replacement is rust, caused by salt placed on roads or in some warm climates
  • There are several products available to patch small holes in the exhaust pipes
  • Keep in mind that if one rust hole is visible, several more will develop soon afterwards
  • Pre-bent exhaust pipes are available and are easy to install preventing repeated exhaust hole repairs

WIPER BLADES //

  • Rubber blades that fit into the wiper arm brackets and remove water and grime from the windshield are recommended
