What Do You Use To Keep Looking Good?


Parts of the '03's are starting to show some age. The paint is fine due to white trucks and Collinite Fleet Wax. The parts that I'm concerned about are the black plastic/painted, lenses and tires. I'm looking for products that will last through more than a few rainstorms.

bumper coating is good for all the black plastic areas...comes in a spray can and is specifically made for this - get it at autozone or somewhere similar

I think you can buff the lenses, but I've never done it

Tires, either replace them or make um shiny

worse case scenario you could also hit up the dealer and purchase new lenses and replace the old ones....a buddy of mine did that on his truck, it looked brand new after he replaced the lenses.
