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 out side 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. ;)

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

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 vary good job, but light colors suck for capturing this.

Nice! Those trucks seem to get larger while you're working on 'em, huh? :D

FWIW, Opti Coat works great on the painted surfaces under the rear wheel wells. If the visible frame rails are in nice shape it works great on those as well. Crud doesn't stick under there and everything looks like new after a wash. :)

Great Work Chad! Love seeing a full size truck get a real detail.

How did you like the Leatherique on the crap GM leather? I just got them and been thinking about trying it on my Sierra...

Thanks Jeff! I actually hate detailing big trucks like these...so many extra things to do that you don't have on cars. ;)

I'm kind of a skeptic when it comes to leather with all the conflicting info out there on cleaning and care. The OPC did a great job of cleaning the seats, but they looked a little dull and lifeless afterward. GM does have horrible leather, but I do think the Leatherique did do a good job of making them look and feel softer/newer again.

BTW, how's that thing move out with the new SC on her? :drool:
 
Just got the new fuel pump in and can finally get on it. I can chirp the tires (~90lbs each) into second gear without trying. It moves out nicely @ 6psi, but I see 8 or 10psi in the near future ;)

Very nice. The GM metallic tan(?) color sometimes seem dull. You made it look nice.

Thanks Al! It's definitely an interesting color....definitely not my preferred choice either. ;)
