Stiff bristle brush and some badass cleaner. I have some meguiars marine cleaner and conditioner and it works great. My boat had pure white vinyl and it stayed pure with over 2 years then I sold it so who knows...

Changed the oil and filter in it today, the oil I drained out looked clean along with what was in the filter. I put Mobil 1 in it since I run M1 on everything of mine. It does have a ticking noise only seems to do this after you first start it and it goes away after a few mins of driving, the oil pressure is good stays around 35-40 pounds at idle and stays between 40-60 psi driving. I know the 5.3's are noisy anyway. I'm thinking its either an exhaust leak or valve train noise so I'm not too concerned, now if its starts sounding like a lawnmower like my 2000 did then I'm going to be pretty concerned. It has 170,000 miles on it so I don't think the noise is nothing to be too worried about. Any input would be good and also a couple more questions the headlights on it don't turn on automatically and it has two sensors on top of the dash do both of these sensors control the twilight sentinel? My 2000 only has 1.

Interesting never heard of anyone using marine cleaner

Put new speakers in this one the others were complete garbage, and put new DRL bulbs in. Reset my power locks according to owners manual and my headlights are cutting on automatically like they should

Got off early today so came home and took the valence off and painted it, put some trim dressing on the running boards and bumper trim, adjusted front bumper, cleaned headlights and parking lights need to get new fog lights since the lenses have fell off. Took a couple pics of both of the hoes together.
