Can Your Truck Take the Heat This Summer?
As the weather heats up, trucks and their owners
take advantage of the sun and head outdoors
to work and play.
A little elbow grease, motivation and some
innovation can make all the difference between
making your truck look new again and driving
an old beater.
Whether your truck has been plowing through
muck and mud, hauling tools, helping a friend
move or transporting hay, there’s no doubt
it could use a serious visual overhaul.
A few simple steps now can keep your truck
sparkling and working hard for years to come.
Inside
Remove the floor mats and shake out the dirt,
rocks and debris. Use a heavy duty vacuum cleaner
to tidy up the mats and the inside of the truck.
Wipe down the instrument panel and console
with a gentle, all-purpose cleanser and get
at stubborn dirt in nooks and crannies with
a cotton swab. An occasional spray with a dashboard
protectant product helps prevent fading, warping
and cracking.
Outside
Use a hose with a sprayer attachment to wet
the truck top to bottom. Make sure the water
pressure is not too hard to damage the vehicle.
Wash the truck with gentle soap and tepid water
to get rid of muck.
Make your final focus the fender and bumper.
Don’t forget to hose off and clean the
undercarriage and wheel wells as those areas
take the brunt of the road’s abuse.
Rinse the truck and dry with a chamois or natural
fiber cloth. Never let the truck air dry as
water spots will develop and can be difficult
to buff out.
Clean the windows and mirrors, both inside
and out, taking care to eliminate streaks that
can impair vision while driving.
Check the tires. Your truck takes you through
rough terrain so check for any slow leaks or
punctures and inflate the tires to proper pressure
levels.
Take it to the Next Level
Your truck bed takes a serious beating. After
all, that’s where all your gear is stored
and hauled. If your truck has a spray-on bedliner,
it can become faded and ragged so now is the
time to renew it.
You can renew the look of your liner with products
like LINE-X ReNew, a bedliner enhancement system
used to repair and enhance any old, faded or
gouged spray-on bedliner. LINE-X ReNew adheres
to your existing bedliner, making it look like
new.
It also acts like a sunscreen to help minimize
future UV damage. The process takes less time
and is less expensive than replacing a spray-on
bedliner and gives your bedliner that “just
sprayed” look for years to come.
