I got him beat .... today after i got out of class i cam home and washed her up real good. By the time i sprayed the tires grabbed up all my towels and went inside to put some things away i walked out to finish cleaning up it was F'ING YELLOW AGAIN!!!!!!! I hate this time of year especially out here because of the pollen! gets so annoying. and garage is to small (what genius made garages so small that we cant even fit a truck in it? )

 

Lol how can you deal with that? I cleaned mine on friday and it took 6 hours. Takes me about 7.5 hours when i do inside and out. If mine looked like that after that amount of time i would flip out lol

 

Let me tell you it aint easy ... Weather out here in texas SUCKS. Winter is okay not to cold usually but rainy! so have to keep up the washes or spotting occurs (snow is worse i know so dont flame me over it). Spring time like now blows! the pollen is ridiculous especially in my area because its very wooded. AND SUMMER OH MY GOD! The heat dries the truck SO FAST you literally have to go panel by panel wash dry was dry or you hvae spots like no other!

Anyway finished my car wash rage sorry for stealing the thread from your new truck! MORE PICS PLEASE

 

Barritia - California Duster...great for between washes and will take that pollen right off w/o scratching your paint. I have used these for years on black and dark blue vehicles and I don't know what I'd do w/o it

 

Great truck! I have the exact same thing and love it so far.

ChromeZ, check out my public profile, I have a handfull of side shots. I absolutely love the color, and am so happy I chose it. I was going to go with Black this time since I have had the grey for my last two trucks, but they changed the color of the grey up a bit this year, and it really seems to pop in the sun. No regrets with my color choice.

 

It's hard to get any clean shots right now since it dumped snow pretty hard last night. The pic today is in the same spot I took them yesterday. I have to say that I am NOT impressed by the snow handling capability of the Pirelli Scorpions. Next season I will have to get some real snow tires. I think I'll get them mounted on the stock rims and buy an extra set of chrome rims and tires for the summer.

 

I don't think the words Pirelli and snow ever belong in the same sentance. The Goodyears I have rollin' on 18s are solid in the snow and slush. There are better tires, but from the factory I'm happy with my rubber.

 

mmmm ... the new trucks are so sexy covered in snow

 

Nice looking Fx4 ***** !

 

Cool pic in the snow, reminds me of home.

I thought only the Plat came with Pirelli's because they were the only tires in 20's. Perhaps that's why they show 2 different Pirelli tires in the guide, maybe one's for the FX4 and one's for the Plat. I thought one was a summer tire and one was an all-year tire if I recall correctly. Too tired to look in the brochure right now.

 

Congrats on the new truck! That gray is one of my favorite Ford colors and I really like those 20's. I just picked up my '09 also. These are really awesome trucks. Enjoy your snow (and the new truck)

 

Looks great and congrats!!!!
