Deciced to do my first detail on my truck with my PC and Poorboys.The paint had swirls and some scratches.BTW it is black.The vehicle is a 1998 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with a canopy.Here is what I did.
-wash with Dawn
-dry
-clay with Mothers system
-polish with SSR2.5 and orange LC pad on speed 3 increasing to 5
-polish with SSR1 and white LC pad on speed 3 increasing to 5
-waxed complete vehicle with NXT by hand application
-waxed complete vehicle with Meg's #16 by hand
This whole process took me 8 hours!The truck looks a lot better.Does 8 hours seem right or am I slow?Also I found it took quite a while for the SSR2.5 to start to dust.The SSR1 dusted real quick,faster than I had hoped and was a pain wiping off the residue sometimes.About 95% of the swirls are gone but there are still some scratches.I think I will try DACP and #80 next time.The NXT was a breeze to take off,I waxed the whole truck then took it off.#16 was'nt that bad either.Is there something I can do to speed this up?
