TINT IT
While we were at House of Tints, we also had Joe tint the front side windows to cut down on any UV damage the interior might see and also up the cool factor. Part of what makes Joe and House of Tints special is the company's ability to add custom flavor to your windows.

House of Tints can do anything from mild to wild with your window tint. Here are some displays the company pumped out to show customers.
WAX IT
One thing most people are not aware of is the delicacy of the paint when it rolls off the dealer's lot. While the truck might look stunning and new when you pick it up, there is no protection on the paint. Obviously, we don't want to seal in any surface contaminants with the wax, so we broke out the clay bar first. A good coat of Adam's Butter Wax was used for our first line of protection.

COVER IT
Last thing to keep the truck new is a custom-fit cover from Covercraft. We called the company, gave the year, make, and model, and where our truck will be stored (outside). The tech on the phone informed us that the company's Noah fabric will be exactly what we needed. The cover fit perfectly, slipping over the mirrors like a glove, and it features two grommets that give you a way to lock it to the truck, if so desired.

Covercraft constructed this cover out of Noah fabric. Noah barrier fabric is highly water resistant, yet it breathes to allow any trapped moisture, seam seepage, or condensation to easily evaporate.
