Re: First Post! Explorer Sport Track

When uploading images, it's best to have two tabs open - one with the thread you're creating and one with the gallery open.

Putting your image in your message:

Right click on the image in your gallery (the large pic, not the thumbnail)
Click on Properties
Click on the link by where it says Location until the whole link is selected
Right click and select Copy
Go back to your thread, click on the button with the mountains and the sun on it
When the little box pops up, right click in the box and click Paste
Click OK
Voila!

This way, your pics will come out like this:


Some of my instructions might differ slightly depending on your computer and your browser. But it will still work either way. Hope this helps!

Re: First Post! Explorer Sport Track

Looks good, what did you use on the interior vinyl?

Re: First Post! Explorer Sport Track

I used a product by Bluemagic called Leather and Vinyl Cleaner. I had never tried it before but it worked really well and seemed really gentle...i guess it is PH balanced.

Nice! I just got myself a Ford Ranger XLT, white. Is it me, or are Ford's paint really really hard? I figured, hey I'll go with the least aggressive combo first. M205 on a white pad. No luck. Swirl X on a white pad. No luck. UC on a green pad. No luck. At this point, I said screw it. M105 on a LC orange pad, and it finally did the trick.
