This guy definitely loves to detail !

Maybe that TIRE BLACK stuff will work on the engine compartment hahaha

So I'm not sure and i don't use anything on my tires but in chatting with one of the tire installers at Americas tire I was told that stuff isn't good for your sidewall it can lead to checking. However, there are some products that claim not to do that. If that is the case I wonder what it would eventually do to the rubber hoses and belts? Food for thought - could be BS could be fact

View attachment 65729 Just diddling today after another crock of oh crap ! Went to take the wing off so I could start prepping it whenever I decide to paint the truck and lo and behold the damn heads of the bolds were rusted and flaking apart .. no idea how I’m going to remove them . Especially where there located .. ugh ! Any ideas to get them out simple like would be appreciated or shout I just wait and let them total disintegrate and watch the wing fly off in my rear view mirror hahaha . I know the wings always survive so that just maybe the option hahaha ! NOT !

OH FUUUUUDDDDDGGGGE!!! That's never been mentioned before! I for one don't have a clue

UNLESS without hurting the paint you could get some WD-40 or some similar product on them to let it sit to loosen them? Totally guessing

 

[Wifey]

When it's reinstalled would using some anti-sieze or dilithium white grease prevent that from happrning?

Again, totally guessing.

 

[Wifey]

Hoping it doesn't fly off that's For sure!

 

[Wifey]

There was something I read recently on this here forum about the wing bolts being off some special type that are hard to find? I'll see if I can find that incase it had any good info on where to get any

 

[Wifey]

Not what I was looking for but this guy had your problem

I've used Pledge (lemon) furniture polish on sidewalls for years. It leaves a very slight shine, which is good. I'm not a fan of the Armour All sidewall look.

The Ravens on our pipeline projects won't go near Twinkies, nor the "One Bite Brownies".
And I thought we were supposed to be the smart ones.

Big Macs are "iffy" and 1/4 pounders are also ignored. McDonald's fries are still a favourite.

Or when most don't pull ahead to do the bottom and there's a nice unshiny patch that flies around and around and around.
