🛠 3/14/22 Build Week Group

[Rick Astley]

Haven't been on the forum since last week Thursday, busy riding around and getting to know our Bronco, by the grace of God finally received it. From July 2020 to today what a wait and so surreal!

If any one has any suggestions on how to keep the hard top plastic and moldings looking good please let me know, thanks in advance!

I just got mine 9 days ago, but I've been meaning to pick up a bottle of the stuff @Rick Astley recommended in this thread:
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/fender-flare-staining.23888/

For the record, I don't know what would be best for the roof until I get some time actually owning the darn thing and can test a few products on the material. I would supposed 303 products which are great on those types of surfaces.

Tried and true 303 Aerospace Protectant:

Have not tried their newer Graphene product but it does look to be viable for the roof. Graphene is pretty cool stuff but will destroy your towels during application/removal.

For the fender flares Solution Finish will work a treat!

Thank you much for the clarification. I'll get some solution finish on the flares soon, because it appears to be very quick and easy. I'll admit I hadn't even really thought much about the roof yet, because I have a bunch of other piddling stuff I want to do.

The transit itself wasn't TOO terrible. All in all, a few weeks late. Here's why...for NW Montana, at this time, there is no way to unload the autos. They actually pass by my hometown and head over all the way to the Spokane, WA. rail yard. Get unloaded, and trucked back to MT....which due to driver shortage, was the long wait, so it sat in the yard a good bit. In fairness, Kalispell Ford said it could be 4-6 weeks delivery and if I hadn't been tracking in through the info here on the forum, I'd be none the wiser...BTW Kalispell Ford is squared away as far as working with Bronco orders, etc.

BTW I have people motioning me at the stop lights to roll down my window, then asking questions and coming up to me in parking lots...completely unexpected! Not too many 2 doors up this way apparently, and Eruption Green is not the popular color at my local dealer!

Eruption Green looks sooo much better in person, I almost regret not getting that instead. Good on ya!

Almost looks like the dark highland green on the Mustang.

Hope y'all get your rigs very soon!

My 3/14 build rolled over to 2200 miles two weeks ago:

 

[truckatologist]

Mine got moved from late July to mid June edd, but I'm sure that's bulsh

Being patient for now but will need a car eventually

 

[BroncoRick]

Looks like mine finally shipped today

 

[Theo_Bronco]

Got ceramic and a good coat of wax applied over the weekend, and it really brought the green to life. Also a good look at the poke for @Untrained Horse

After a little over a week of ownership the wife is loving her new daily. It gets attention and compliments everywhere it goes, her only complaint is the sound system and lack of window tint. “I can’t tell if people are staring at me or the Bronco”

It’s going on my next day off to get tint, the sound system is tbd. I used to put subs in all my old trucks, so I’ll figure something out for that.

I was never big on the green, but I love them with those wheels! Looks great!

I still have yet to take any parts of the roof off ours yet

Bro! I'm shook. That's my favorite thing about the Bronco. (And my daughters' least favorite when it's a nice day out. They know Momma's gonna have that top back. LOL.)

@GutiBigBend22

I’m currently trying Chemical guys on the flares. If this works I will move on to the roof. Started with 3 coats I think I’m going to do 6 of total. No stains now. Cleans up super easy. If it lasts then on to the roof panels.

How are you liking Chemical Guys? I've been slowly converting most of my husband's products to them because I typically enjoy their products more. But I haven't tried their ceramic shine and other protectants yet.
