Chevy Truck, interior/exterior detail, D300/D301 MF: Rasky's Auto Detailing

[RaskyR1]

Chevy Truck, interior/exterior detail, D300/D301 MF







This truck belongs to the brother of one of my friends, both are avid hunters and their vehicles sit outside 24/7. I detailed my friends truck early this summer and his brother booked his truck shortly after. Overall condition was not too bad, and was what I expect from most trucks in MN. The job was booked for an interior detail and a 1-step correction...great opportunity to use the full MF system! Normally the D300/D301 combo would be a 2-step correction, but since the D301 works so effortlessly I really don't mind doing it for free as it doesn't take much longer than using a dedicated wax/sealant, yet it offers more correction for my client.



Process:



Wash - Foamed bath followed by 2BM wash using CGCW

Wheels - Meguiar's Wheel Brightener

Tires - Cleaned with Meguiar's D103, dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing

Wheel Wells - Cleaned with Meguiar's D103, dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing

Clay - Clay Magic & ONR for lube

Tree sap - IPA

Paint correction - Meguiar's MF system D300/D301 on GG6 DA

Glass - Meguiar's D120

Plastic Trim - Meguiars Ultimate Protectant

Step bars - Polished with Meguiar's Aluminum Polish via GG6 DA and PFW pad

Chrome - Mothers Chrome polish

Head/tail lights - D300 MF followed by PlastX foam LC on the GG6 DA

Carpets - Pre-treat with Bio-clean, scrubbed with hand brush and DA attachment, extracted with LGM and followed with Shop Vac.

Leather - Cleaned with OPC followed by Leatherique system

Vinyl - Cleaned with OPC and dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant

Dash/radio/climate controls - 1Z Premium

Door jambs - OPC & various brushes

Weather stripping - 303 Aerospace Protectant





Before pics

Lots of bugs on the front....OPC loosened them up nicely.

Crusty salt deposits

On these trucks I'll pop up the step plates as a lot of dirt tends to gets under them

Fine tree sap all over the truck as well as a few globs too...sorry for the blurry pics

Paint was pretty swirled up and the 50/50 shots don't to a very good job, but light colors suck for capturing this.

Great work Chad! You obviously do a lot of incredible paint correction work, but your interior skills are off the charts too!

Great work Chad! I always remove sill plates (safely), just the smart thing to do if you want to get everything vacuumed without scratching the plastic.

Thanks Mike! I guess that's one thing I actually like about interior jobs...they make great before and after transformations.

Nice work Chad, as always. Even though GM leather is considered crap by most people's standards, I personally have had the biggest turn around with Leatherique on GM cars. I too find that cleansing first with OPC, etc works best. Leatherique really takes away the shine and softens up the leather, your pictures do a great job of showing that off.



Interesting theory on the "new" one step w/ d300/301. If you don't mind me asking, how long would you estimate just the buffing/polishing took you. That truck looks HUGE in pics, I bet it was a bear.



"...what I expect from most trucks in MN." haha yup. I try to stay away from them myself.



Good job, Mark

Light color or not that is a lot of work!, and great work at that. "Brillness" Chad.

Looks mighty nice Chad, shame they'll just get it grungy all over again!

4-5 is down right decent. I met your dad tonight at an icar class, I'm a body tech too and recognized the last name on the sign up sheet. He mentioned the refinishing qualities of opticoat briefly, could I PM you for more details on this testing?

 

[dlocks]

AWESOME WORK (as usual) what did you use to remove the lovely sap deposits if I may ask?

Lol. Small world! Yeah, definitely. Have you seen my OC article over on the DI blog.



What shop you work at?
