Getting Ready for the Shop

[DaveH]

Picked up my 05 xl Ranger yesterday. Took the small pressure washer to it today knocked off a bunch of pine tar, needles, leaves and dirt. Glad it didn't set under a tree much longer. Paint code YN is Silver metallic I think. Love this color on this truck. I didn't find what are you doing today page. I'm new to this forum.

Looks nice. Congratulations.

We have this thread (link below). But many people also just start what we call a “build thread” where you can post progress of your truck in one place and it keeps your story all together. Link to my build thread in my signature so you can see how it works.

What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

I will actually tell my friends they can come over and I'll help them with this or that. I live too far away from most, so normally if there is a problem they don't want to drive and hour and an half. The only time they come see me is when their cars work. :)

The factory silver does look good on them when its in good shape. If you want to keep it that way, wash and wax regularly. If possible, park under cover as much as possilble. Silvers in general, but especially Ford silvers, like to kill their clear coat.
