    So my friend/partner traded in his car for this truck. It was purchased earlier this weekend and needed some work. it is in great shape but it was at a dealership so ther ewhere lots of sriwls nad the paint needed a good clay.. we decided it was time.

    So when I got there he had alreasy sprayed it off

    We then washed the car using zaino car wash. We resuds the car and clayed using ricardos clay, man this stuff is awsome
    We then dried the car

    it was time for a polish, since winter is here we decided not to get everything ouy, when sprin rolls around we will btu with the weather as it is and this truck being outside 24/7 thre was no real point

    we did a pass of optimum compound and a cuttingpad
    then a pass with optimum polish and polishing pad

    here are some pics of us polishing

    Finally we applied zymol titanium to the paint by hand. After a good buff he car looked awsome.
    My camera was actingup so the pics are kinda grainey but it really did look better in person

    I looked at my car and decied it was dirty. It also needed some protection, the coat of wax was starting to wear off, After 4 weeks the beading started to go down.

    I know the wheelwells are still dirt but like I said it was just to protect the paint, heck it got dirty as soon as i drove out since it started to snow

    Sweet, where did you do the vehicles? Is that at the shop you were telling me about? Looks like you got some nice space where you were at.

    Both vehicles look great, well done.

    Thank you for sharing.

    What, 32C :eek: man that's wicked...temperature here is going down...I'm looking forward to it though, instead of installing an A/C unit in my garage I installed a heater in it hahahaha how oposite is that hahahaha. The only thing I'm thinking is doing the washing in the winter, good thing I got lots of Optimum No rinse :D
