Car wash swirls? All it takes is a few trips down pretty much any trail in the North Woods with tag alders along a bog
And after a couple of years when you go to sell it, even after paying someone to buff it out the best they can, they will be looking at all the stripes on it along the sides instead of swirls on horizontal surfaces.
Was hard to capture pictures of it so I warned people in the description. Still didn't take long to sell the Taco and no one was looking at the horizontal paint status.
Car washes are not open below 10° above zero here so when they are open there is always a line. Lets see now... go to a car wash in the winter with recycled water that is basically salt brine and spray the undercarriage with salt. Hmmm that is a hard pass for me.
Used to do the Fluid Film spray myself but with the GX now pay someone else to do it professionally with NHOU undercoating oil.
FF, NHOU, Woolwax they all will tell you to NOT wash the undercarriage after getting a treatment. Until Spring otherwise it washes off the undercoating. Last time I see a car wash during the year is 2 days before treating with undercoating oil and drop the spare when I wash it. I will do a basic wash during the winter when it gets so bad I can't stand it. Minus the undercarriage.
I know that sound it is like fingers on a chalk board. But have gotten used to it
Looks like you took your mud flaps off too they were a stupid design being hard plastic and begged to be ripped off first time off road. I spend a lot of time on gravel roads I pretty much have to where I live and the tires threw stones on the rocker panels where your mud is. I ended up using black peel and stick non skid to help protect the rockers some. And cover the stone chips LOL, it worked pretty well.
