GOT PREP?
This truck belongs to one of my oldest customers, I was 17 and going door to door in my Dad’s truck when I first started doing work for him. I still have not convinced him on the proper wash methods, but he doesn’t seem concerned. He just calls me when they get filthy, swirled, or are about to sold. I don’t really mind, his referrals more than make up for it. :D



The truck is a daily driver, tow pig for his hot rods, business car, and hauls kids—it always needs attention.



This detail took around 8 hours to complete.



Wash



clay



The paint received HT extreme cut/optimum polish via rotary @1500 RPM’s (meg’s polishing pad)



Black fire SRC finishing polish via PC @speed 6 (SM Arnold green pad)



Meguiars gold class (new formula) x2



Optimum polymer wax



Tires are dressed with Meguiars all-season dressing



All exterior trim dressed with Hi-Temp bumper restorer



The interior process was:

Vac



Clean carpets with APC 10:1



All leather vinyl received APC 10:1



Steam cleaned cracks and crevices



Dressed all vinyl and leather with 3M/scotchbrite vinyl and leather protector (refresh)



The engine was degreased, then dressed with Meguiars hyperdressing 1:1

If they put that truck up for sale, one might think it never got dirty or driven much!! Only if the potential buyers new how it looked before!! FANTASTIC WORK!
 
looks like new,



finally pictures that show someone else dealing with a nasty center console,



why is that always the "catch-all" for everyone's crap :o
 
you seem to out do yourself every time. I always look for your posts Mondays.



I need to get a new steamer - what do you use?



BTW, is that a new Optimum product?

LOL, thanks man--I really appreciate that.



I use the costco steamer--I can't detail without it so if it dies I will have to buy a "real" one.



Which optmum product? I must have typed something wrong.





I like it a lot--you must wipe it down, but it doesn't run when applied correctly. It also lasts through *several* washes, just don't overapply it.





Scroder, as posted above I used hyperdressing for the engine and all-season dressing on the tires....
 
Amazing...I get an excited feelings when Im about to view your threads. Its the anticipation of the magic unfolded!!!! Paint looks EXCELLENT and great job on the interior and engine! I detailed a one of those last year in dark grey...pretty fast truck with the charger!

Sorry, I forgot to post that I used NXT all-metal "polysh" on them, then used OCW to clean up any residue. Thanks for your compliments!!!
