    10 minutes of elbow grease and look what wipes off without damaging the factory paint. It'll take me a few hours but when i'm done you'll never know it. I was reminded of a solvent I have in my sidebox and have recommended to guys on here looking for something to remove decals. Well, it wipes spray paint away too! Great stuff! Woo hoo!! The guy at the shop that makes my lettering gave me a 20 ounce coke bottle of the stuff years ago. He called it "orange peal" (sp?).

    Think how easy it would come off if you had waxed that trailer every week.

    Yeah I saw that graffiti this morning coming thru Guntersville. If you do find em, just drop em by a dam and the cats will take care of the rest.

    Did you get a police report filed? I'm guessing those are his initials?... Deer cams are cheap and very good quality.

    I don't see any point in filing a police report. No way I would report this to insurance either. That would have me paying through the nose for something that's costing me a day of my time and really just more aggravating than any real kind of damages.

    What were you driving Al? I remember passing a few trucks thinking maybe they won't see it lol. Yeah that was me hustling home. Small world.

    Chris I'll never forget your famous words of wisdom when I picked it up the first time "smack it with a hammer right now so you can get it over with". You know something as it gets bumps and scrapes now doesn't bother me so much as it used to but this was different.

    I was thinking to myself how the tractor needed the paint job not the trailer why did they have to do this to the best part of my unit lol. As far wax on wax off I ain't never, don't have that kind of energy and ambition. That's why they make blue beacons with rain x wax.
