Hey BRaptor Family,

I am vehicle detailer based out of New Glarus Wisconsin, aligned with both DIY Detail and hyperClean.
I picked up my 24' Braptor a couple of weeks and could not be happier.
I have already added the JB4 Tune purchased from @LethalPerformance, as I felt the vehicle needed a little more low down grunt and am very chuffed with the outcome of this performance add-on.

From an exterior perspective, I have washed an decontaminated the vehicle and applied @hyperClean Tre and hyperClean Glass to provide a great layer of paint protection and enhanced gloss and totally clear glass.

My next add-on are some external visual appeals, followed by Induction, BOV and Downpipes, after those I have some additional ideas. the vehicle will mainly be road driven but will absolutely hit some trails

Happy to partake in discussions and meet-ups, look forward to gaining further information from this forum.

Welcome to the forum and Congrats on your new Shelter Green Code Orange pkg Raptor! I believe you are the first auto detailer to join as member.

Thanks @TurboS I noticed there is no detailing section in the forum how does everyone keep their vehicle clean and protected?

Sweet rig @vehicle_detailer and welcome!

How do I keep vehicles clean?

I am a neat freak and enjoy keeping my toys clean. I am a big fan of professionally applied ceramic coatings since it makes routine cleaning soooo much easier. My Braptor is matte PPF’d to help protect from trail pinstripes and ceramic on top of that for good measure. I always hand wash, use the 2 bucket method and dry with a blower followed by 100% cotton baby blanket for any remaining moisture.

My wife thinks I am insane but puts up with my motorsports obsession because as she says - she would rather find me under a vehicle than another woman!

I wash my vehicle about once a month. I need to get better. I do take care of it. We live with a lot of dust so it doesn't stay clean long. I did my monthly cleaning yesterday. Got back from King of the Hammers a couple of weeks back (didn't clean it - dust no mud) and got some mud on it Monday so gave it a clean. Didn't have the chance to do the interior.

I did a full PPF and ceramic so keeping the vehicle in good shape is important. I will be following along as I need to step it up a bit.

Can't wait to you get some dirt on it. It sound you are like a buddy of mine who no matter what off road vehicle he uses comes home and completely details it.

I suffer from that affliction as well! It’s bad and I am hopeful to find a support group but every time I meet more Motorsport enthusiasts, I end up with a new toy (to keep clean).

Yes, I even used tire dressing (Gasp!)

Wow, nicely done! Noticed you have larger front mud flaps that really do protect the lower front doors unlike the OEM's. Did you custom fit those or are they specific fitment for the Bronco Raptor?

They are WeatherTech - they make a Raptor specific model.
