I did this thrashed truck at my other shop in walnut creek. It came in for a navi/bluetooth/backup camera/drop down over head DVD/blue tooth ect... Basically making it more modern with some tech upgrades. After finishing the install on the electronic upgrades I had a customer reschedule for another job so I had some extra time and it desperately needed a detail.
Inside the everything was cleaned with P&S Enviro clean APC 20:1, magic erasers, an assortment of little brushes, my amex, some general purpose MF towels, and carpets were extracted using MYTEE after some spot cleaning with APC.
Exterior got washed traditional way. Decon was done with Iron-X and a speedy prep towel. Exterior was corrected using M105/BF SRC compound/ BF SRC Finishing polish. All with my dewalt 849x. Seal with Klasse HGSG all my other waxes were in Orinda and I had this in my car soooo work with what you got lol.
Before it was touched
Paint was ruff....
After riping the dash out for the navi and installing all the modules to make everything work. Sat/BT/Back up camera/steering wheel controls/DVD interface. You know all the modern goodies
Even guide lines on this Alpine unit. Pretty cool eh?
50/50 of the steering wheel it was gross.
APC wasn't touching this so I used a Magic Eraser and it worked like magic!(pun intended)
hmmmm gonna be a long night, customer needed this done at 8am
Hood had a lot of etching and some oxidation
After SRC compound/Finishing polish. M105 was used in a cpl places mixxed with SRC compound for more bite to save steps.
Black Fire SRC compound vs swirls - YouTube
This is a video of the door after just SRC compound. Give it up to Black Fire! It is pretty aggressive and leave almost 0 halo's with a rotary!
After one pass it required a second to get it perfect.
Pillars got dialed with one pass SRC Finishing polish.
Getting there!
I ran outta of SRC finishing polish I had with me so I used 3m ultrafina on all the bottom plastic. It sure does make it shiny I wanna do a side by side vs SRC Finishing. I have a feeling I'll see that it fills way more than Blackfire.
The paint was done at this point and it was almost 6am. I took a quick break and ran to the store for red bull. I got back and finished up with wheels/tires/nit picking ect...
Out in the sun at 730 am. The customer called me and told me he wasn't gonna pick it up till saterday... I missed a night of sleep for this lol.:wall
Thanks For looking
