This is my father's truck. For the 5 years he's owned it, he's only done the bare minimum (washed and the occasional wax). This truck has a lot of swirls from him taking it to various swirl-o-matics. In addition, this truck is starting to show signs of oxidation due to the fact it is stored outside where the sun and other elements have started attacking the finish.



I've already done the following:



Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class

Cleaned interior glass and wood with Stoner's and a MF

Clayed with a Clay Magic Clay Bar (Had to toss it afterward)



Since he's running my niece to church, I have to wait until he gets back so I can polish it.



Pictures forthcoming.

Some parts of the truck required me to use the Makita and 3M Light Cut Rubbing Compound to lessen the scratches. Also, I had to use SSR 2.5 to attack other scratches on the passenger side of the vehicle.



I ran the Makita at 900 rpm due to the plastic pieces at the bottom of this truck. Also, I topped everything off with S100.
 
BTW, I still went to class tonight and, knowing me, I am going to conk out on the train ride home (I just hope I don't miss my transfer point).
