1998 F-150 100,000 mile Mini Detail

[teck]

Truck just got 100,000 miles and cleaned it up hate that it has plastic floors so it didn't turn out great but it is better



process



Wash Dawn

Megs #4

MEgs NXT Wax 2.0

Mothers QD on floors



afters

this was a very quick clean up nothing in depth b/c this truck is on a construction project and it was a freebie

 

[BigJimZ28]

I understand it was a freebie so you did not want to put a lot into it



but next time try a bucket of saop & water with a brush on the floor

they always cean up for me



and some Folex on the seats and it would be a great detail



also if you did some before pics we could understand what you are working with



what buffer are you using?

I see you use #4 alot, that is a heavy cut coumpound was it needed?

and if you don't get all the water out it creates mold

 

[BigJimZ28]

and if you don't get all the water out it creates mold

I did not tell you to hose it down



if you can't use a towel and dry a plastic floor ...you have problems



just trying to help because it looks like you need it

and if you don't get all the water out it creates mold

So make sure you get all the water out then - Use an air compressor. I shampoo the carpets of almost every vehicle I detail. I have yet had a customer return to me complaining of mold...? Unless you're leaving 3 inches of water left behind I don't think the whole mold theory sticks

Josh it's noit carpet palstic with crevices and holes that water that it can sit in but I think I might try it out since it's my truck to see how it looks

I have the same floor in my Ranger and it cleans up extremely easy. You can hit it with an APC, scrub it with a damp cloth, then dry it with another cloth.

Don't forget the grille and the wells. They clean up easily and add much to the overall look.

Looks good for its age!



Those f-150's will surprise you. My father has owned everything from Porsche to a maybach, but the old f-150 is the most reliable vehicle the family's ever had. (forgive the crappy phone pic)

 

[ScubaStevo]

Those floors will clean up a lot better than they are right now. Get into all the seams with some APC and small brush.

 

[teck]

once and for all the floors are now done after a little more wiping and getting out the better camera here are the pics

 

[jshillin]

Thank you, that's much, much better...

 

[BigJimZ28]
