This poor thing, I dont htink has ever been waxed since new. Owner admited that it hasnt been washed "in a long time" either. The wheels were caked with burnt on brake dust (worse than it looks in the pic even!), the interior dusty / dirty, etc. I used up a clay bar and 2 pads (turned black) while cleaning this thing, but the results were great! Owner didnt think I would be able to make it look as nice as it does, surprise! She was very happy with it.



steps:

wash- NXT and simple greene (yes it was that dirty!)

wheels / tires- Mothers wheel cleaner (x3 inc using #000 steel wool and a light touch to get remining baked on dust off), Mothers tire cleaner

tires- Megs Endurance gloss gel

clay- autopia clay bar w/ FI as lube

polish- DACP with cutting pad, PC on #6, Dacp with polishing pad

LSP- Wax Frenzy from Hammerhead Boat Works (I figured Id try it since it is an easy to work with carnuba and lasted all summer on our Jetski's. I didnt feel like messing with #476 in the 40* temps)

interior- woolite mix, APC+ on tough spot, 303 protectant

Damn :shocked



Those rims came out amazing. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the burning of the rims. I did the same truck (different rims) yesterday and I had a helluva time cleaning them up.



The paint looks excellent...Like Magellan said...A whole different shade!
 
wow, that really looks great! the wheels, interior, well... everything looks so so so much better!! keep up the good work!

Very nice, but next time try working with a Cherokee that got stuck in 3 foot deep mud! You think thats dirty, yeesh :)



Looks good though man!
 
Wow, thanks for the compliments guys!!! Didn't get paid $1M, I gave them a deal since they are sending me their dirty bettle this weekend.



On the cladding I cleaned it with 5:1 APC+, then dressed with regular Armor All since my 303 supply was almost gone. I usually only use AA for wheel wells.
 
What is the Extreme Detailing contest? I did do the engine, but didnt take any befores. I tried to take afters, but it was dark out and they didnt turn out.
