What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Mark S.]

The graphene spray wax did bring the plastic bumpers back to life quite a bit. I should have taken some before pics but I didn’t. My car lives outside so it takes a lot of sun abuse.

Turtle Wax Wax & Dry is great for the plastic. It's also very, very easy to use. Wash the car, spray product over entire vehicle, the dry as you normally would. Go back after drying with a dry cloth and polish.

I have water spots that I cannot get off the glass for the life of me. Any recommendations on products?

These come from mineral deposits left behind when water drops dry on the window. Water mixed with vinegar requires the least elbow grease. Put some of the solution on a terrycloth towel, wipe it on, let it set for a few minutes, then wipe off. Just be careful how much vinegar you use--no more than 50-50--and be prepared to rinse thoroughly unless you like the smell of vinegar.

There are commercial chemical products you can buy as well, but they all do the same thing as vinegar, which is to dissolve the mineral deposits.

To avoid in the future try not to let water dry on the windows. The Turtle Wax product I mentioned earlier works really well on the windows as well, and even if you don't fully dry the car after spraying it will soften the water enough to prevent water spots.

Vinegar and other remedies didn’t work. I went and bought some Chemical Guys water spot remover just now and it took them off the glass in 30 seconds. Should have just bought it a long time ago.

Interesting. I've never experienced water spots that wouldn't come off with vinegar. It usually dissolves them in just a few seconds. Glad you got it figured out.

Replaced my carpet front mats with Ford's rubber ones. I also bought a pack of molle straps/clips and tacked on my Gerber multitool. I don't know if I'll keep it there and not sure if the back straps are actually molle, but it's pretty much all I have now.

Nice! I also see that you have the rear deflector. You're the first Bronco I've seen with that. How would you rate it? Does it help the back window stay clearer?

i am assuming you mean the spoiler. Not sure what you really mean by clearer. This is an outside car so it’s always dirty, especially this time of year with the pollen.

I would say that anyone who this the spoiler is going to serve any kind of function would be disappointed and it’s mostly for aesthetics.

Ooops. Yea, meant to say "spoiler."
Isn't the theory to push the wind and rain away from the back window thus not creating a mess? I guess that's not true. Looks good though.

I come from a a sports car world where spoiler are used for aerodynamics and downforce.

That's normally how those parts work on SUVs. But they're designed more open like this...

I think the BS spoiler is just for aesthetics. I have a white roof so I'm not sure how any of them would look .

Finally installed the black vinyl overlay letters for the grill and tailgate. I love the look but am nervous about how well they will stay adhered. Notice the color difference between the sun and shade with the Catcus Gray paint.

I usually use the 10% Acetic Acid vinegar, for most of my “keeping it natural cleaning “ chores around the homestead. Works great on so many things , heck I ain’t hurt’in Mother Nature either. Win win.

@Mrmike that looks really sharp! Makes the logo stand out.
