I would like to buy a rear bumper for a 2012 SCrew. Looking for OEM but would also consider aftermarket. In Kansas City area.

A clay bar should do it. There bug and tar removers out there but the clay bar will be safe to use. You will need to reapply the wax after using the bar.

I just had mine replaced as well. Mine is also still making the noise. Does the door work on a vacuum and will it always make the sound when starting the truck? I had mine replaced because it was not cooling correctly.

I have a steamer and it works well on the engine and interior. I have not tried it on the outside of the vehicle. The Optima is a high dollar unit. The only concern I would have about using it on the outside is the stripping of the wax due to the heat and pressure.

I got the same deal on my 2012 through Jeff at Louisburg.

My last Chevy came with touch up paint. Does anyone know if the ford touch up paint comes in a marker pen? Our Audi touch up paint comes in a tube with the head that looks like a highlighter.

I just installed the Sylvania SilverStar Ultra. I have not had a chance to drive on a dark road but driving around town I can tell that they are brighter than stock. Just remember when changing then to push down on the clip then press the clip in. Yeah I was not thinking and broke the clip on...

Thanks. I though I had better check before I try to take the front of it off. Glad I did not try to pull it apart.

Guys - what are the round pieces that look like caps that are mounted to the frame next to the headlights? I looked thorugh the manual but have not been able to located them. Thanks for the help.

I have the Flex XC 3401 VGR Dual Action Orbital. I like it because I has the power to do some paint correction and you don't really have to worry about it burning through the clear coat and paint like you do with a rotary.

I bought an aftermarket antenna from Advanced Auto Parts and had it on for awhile. I decided to cut my original antenna down to keep from hitting my garage and when I went to remove the aftermarket it was stuck. Some how the threads had welded together and I ended up having to buy a new...

I was thinking that the clay bar might be used to roll over the area and it might pick up the concrete. You are right I would not have tried rubbing it with the clay bar. I am guessing the body shop used a type of solvent to break down the concreate and remove it.

I usually wait about 12 hours to make sure it has had time to fully cure. The collinite #845 works well and is pretty durable. I have used it on my vehicles but I actually bought it to use on our boat.

Once you wash it well you can try using a clay bar. The bar does a good job of removing most things off of the paint. You can pick a mother's clay bar up at Walmart or an automotive store.

Looks good. I usually use 000 steel wool with the polish then I go back and use the powerball to bring out the shine.
