Yeah, clean them well & allow to dry. I've done them on the truck & also taken them off to get the back of the wheel coated better. Both results look good but prefer removing them. If your going to leave them on the truck, take trash bags, split them down the middle and use them to cover the brakes & suspension. Coat the tires in heavy tire shine to help with over spray on the tires. After you've done a couple coats, put the truck in neutral & let it roll about halfway around so you get better coverage on the other side of the wheel. If you remove the wheel start on the back side with 2-3 coats then flip over & do 4-5 coats on the front. Use index cards around the wheel to cover over spray. (attached pic so you see what I mean). Figure about 1.5 cans per wheel to get a really good coat on them.View attachment 364868
Any issues around the lug nuts breaking the skin?

Put this anti skid tape on there about a year ago as a test to see how it would hold up, seems to be pretty good, looks better than scratched paintView attachment 364931
I put something similar on my Silverado door sills but it’s more a textured plastic. I had some anti-skid but it seemed it would be hard to clean. Mine were all scratched up too.

Ya I thought this would be hard to keep clean as well but I haven't done anything to it except go thru the car wash

Now I look at that pic and remember I still need to open those headlights up ( again) and swap out the lower projectors for the matching etched ones that are sitting on the shelf. Hmmm.

Are these your 2012 seats?

They look different than mine. Mine don't have the left to right angled seams on the side bolsters, at least I don't think they do, or I just never noticed them, lol

My oldest son had a huge problem with getting car sick when he was younger. We started carrying a large plastic bowl for him to throw-up in. Sure reduced the need to clean up stuff.

the now 7 & 10 years both threw up last year, they got weazy this time but managed to hold it in.
mom and all 3 of them now get Dramamine. I just messaged her a little bit ago and told her to get more, were headed to the snow again today. It's a slalom ride up the mountain, they got another 6 inches yesterday, clear and 32deg today

My dad flew small planes when I was young. His last was a Cessna 210. So getting sick was common; we would hit turbulence and it would be like you were in a giant shaker. Think being in a boat in a rough sea but the motion was straight up and down 3-4’ and it was super fast. It felt like you were in a snow globe and someone was constantly shaking it up. Sometimes it would get to me and everybody else except my dad. He also liked to take me and my friends out in a buddy’s plane that he could do tricks in, like climbing straight up until the engine would stall, then falling back on its tail and then pointing it straight towards the ground and start doing spins. He’d be laughing. We would all have barf bags accessible. A bowl would have been super messy lol. Plus once they’ve been used you can twist them and tie them closed.

I took a ride in a cessna one time, made my stomach do all kinds of flips lol I think it would have taken some getting used to, I worked on a fishing processor one year up in Alaska, the whole boat was a processor and freezer out in open water I got a little weazy once but that was it, people can't hang out there we started out with 265 people in the end there was only 23 of us left, everybody else quit and went home

Sounds like when I’d go up with a family friend in his crop duster plane. He regularly go under power lines going from one field to the next. Never threw up, but definitely had my stomach in my throat many times.
