I have a new truck, do you have to scuff it first still.
589886
Yes. As everyone here as stated already, you must scuff things up first. Red Scotchbrite pads work well for this application.
589887
Yes, you do. THis is not a self-etching formulation. Therefore, it is very important to scuff as well as remove all residues properly from the bed. Remember, you have wax and other chemicals built up on the surface of even a new truck. A Spray-Lining Formula would burn right through the paint of a new bedliner which U-Pol does not make. I would use a medium grit sandpaper.
589888
Yes, for proper adhesion. Be sure to get all the corners and crevices too. Great product! Mine is 3 years old and still looks new.

I worked at a body shop for 6 years and we sanded it very well!! We used 36 grit and cleaned after with laquor thinner

It comes oiled already, but you will have to buy oil the first time you clean it

Yes. Provided existing base is good and tight to existing base. Scuff with sandpaper first

I could see where they might scuff it but doubt it would scratch a factory finish. They are a semi hard plastic like poly pipe. They do not scratch our boat or our jet skis.

Yes if you still want a raked look. If you want it level then you replace the factory block. I personally like the raked look as it makes the truck noticeably higher all the way round. Hope this helps.

no you have to but it togather . No big deal to assembled . YOU WANT TO CHECK YOUR HEIGHT ON YOUR OLD ONE .

A light to moderate amount of rubbing with #0000 steel wool is all that's needed between coats. Just enough to scuff finish so next coast will stick better, and to take off any dust that settled on the previous finish. Yes I tack clothed after steel wooling, and I used those yellow micro fiber cloths from Costco and they take all the dust off.

Suggest you delay use of LG on "new" car for 3 months after purchase/build date, just to ensure that clear coat has aged. Then you're good to go. Be certain that you apply it on a completely clean/grease-free/road tar-free surface, lest you cover-over the crud. Just a thought...

Not entirely. I left the jack on top of my truck for a few weeks when I first got it, and noticed some light surface rust building up on it, especially in the jacking mechanism itself. I re-oiled it, and it functions fine.

Are you referring to when you receive it? If so, yes you do have to put the scooter together.

it does if you spray the spray on the scuff and let it soak before wiping with the pad. You might have to repeat a couple of times depending on what made the scuff.

Yes, and more so at first. When first installed it is considerably higher and they need a few days/miles to settle down. I wait about 50 miles and almost a week before I get an alignment for them to settle first. After that period your car should be the same height as when new.

Foot packs will scuff the roof paint if installed on dirty car. Surface cannot be dented/scratched if over tighten, torque wrench is provided.

I think paint it first. I painted mine and the texture is just more durable , better suited to wiping a stain on then off.

I no longer have the truck I bought the cover for, and the new truck doesn't need it. However, I imagine it will go on, but the steering wheel may feel too thick afterward.

so far no , but scuff running boards with very light sand paper or scotch bright pads or it will no stick ,on my second try

As with any new product out of the box, there is a slight smell to get used to after assembly. This is not a strong smell and goes away very quickly. After assembly, wipe down with a gentle cleaner and all should be good.
