Just One More Coat
Today's detail was this white Chevy 4x4...I forgot to shoot some pics of the inside but its a brand new truck so it wasn't a lot of work on the inside.

I clayed the paint after washing, then with my orbital with a polishing pad with P-w-C

finishing pad with orbital with black hole

Finished with Ex-P by hand

Polished the rims and chrome with PB PP,bold and bright on the tires.

BB it was a new customer that wanted to get the truck back on top, the truck only has 19K on it but he had a dog in the truck so hair was all over.

The outside was easy, but again wanted to get the cheap dealer wax off and something better on

I dug dealer wax out of every piece of trim on it.

Interesting. My truck's rear wheel wells are painted, but don't appear to have a clear coat. I need to find the time to do a quick cleaner wax to help with cleaning as the truck gets some age on it.

I miss read what Stephan wrote, the wells are not clear coated. On that part I just cleaned real good and left it alone, the rest of the undercarriage I used BnB on it

I was thinking he was talking about the rims
 
Ahhhh...OK. It does sound like a good idea, clear coating that painted area though. :)

This is twice now (maybe it was you the first time also) I've read of using BnB on, again assumption on my part, the undercarriage suspension components. I guess for "showing off" for the customer at delivery it does make a statement or perhaps at a car show.

The BnB on the wells really make the whole car stand out, especially with these big rigs where you can see a lot of it. I spray this on once I have applied the LSP. While that cures I start on the trim, plastics and rims..this gives it time to dry...Cool thing about BnB is it is not a dust collector.
 
Before I get myself even more confused...:redface: You're talking about the black plastic wheel well linings not the painted surfaces, right? What about the suspension components (ie. springs, frame rails, etc.)? I thought I had read where someone was using BnB on those components as well.

I agree that BnB is not necessarily a "dust collector". Several years ago I did a real life side-by-side test comparing BnB vs Armor-All after much ballyhooing by another detailer about the greatness of AA. BnB came out as the clear winner. That said it also isn't going to last a real long time up underneath the vehicle.

Yes I am talking about all the undercarriage on this Truck..If you give it some time to dry before moving, in my case its well over an hour. It works like a charm!

Even the plastic wells that do not come out all the clean from years of buildup, the BnB really brings back the black and makes them look new again
 
I was talking about the painted surfaces in the rear wheel wells. Often when I see people driving around in their trucks that they just washed and waxed they fail to polish the rear wheel wells where it is painted and it sticks out because it dirty, or not shiney. You made it look brand new...that's all I was pointing out.

Depending on how bad that area is, I use mineral sprits to wipe down after washing...on this truck this was a fairly new rig
