Products Used:

Chemical Guys rim cleaner
Megs 105
Optimum Polish II
Bissell Carpet clean solution
Obsessive Details Silk Shine dressing
VRP Dressing
OD All purpose cleaner, diluted 4:1 and 8:1 for heavy and light cleaning
OD Wet Wax
Stoners Invisible Glass
Equipment Used:
PC 7424
Orange and white pads
Toothbrush
Lots of MF towels
Little Green Cleaning Machine
Wet/Dry vac
Tire scrub brush
Process. Washed truck with ONR followed by claybar using ONR diluted to lube. Wheels were then tackled using 1.5:1 rim cleaner solution as the brake dust was BAD. Spent 2 hours cleaning the chrome wheels with a toothbrush.
Washed the car with ONR again, then tackled the interior. Scrubbed the entire interior with 8:1 APC, followed by an application of Silk Shine dressing. Vacuumed out all the loose debris, followed by applying spraying down the carpets / upholstery with bissell solution, extracted using LGCM. Sprayed down again with pure water, extracted again, and repeated with water 1 more time. Cleaned windows with Stoners Invisible.
Once the interior was completed, I moved to polishing the paint. Truck was spot-compounded with M105/orange in places that needed it (not enough time to 2-step the entire truck). Once the spot compounding was completed, moved on to polishing entire truck using Optimum Polish II on a 4" white pad. I tried M205 first, but it just didnt have enough bite on a white pad to remove the surface marring and swirls entirely. OPII did a great job and finished out fantastic for a 1-step.
Once the polishing was complete, washed the truck again, applied OD Wet Wax and VRP dressing to all the black exterior trim. Polished chrome bumpers and step rails using M205 on a 4" orange pad.
Client then took the truck to show off to his buddies at baseball (where the parking lot is gravel / dirt). LOL.
