    When this truck was booked in the owner mentioned that a few scratches had been inflicted by errant hockey bags etc but the truck is well looked after so I wasn't too worried. That is until I brought the halogens out after washing it. Turns out it may have received a complimentary stick wash at the dealership. Twelve hours of polishing later, I think I was right.

    Washed with Poorboys Super Slick'n Suds. I recommend this soap.
    Jambs and engine cleaned with AG Powermax2. Engine dressed with AG Vinyl & Rubber Care.
    Tires, wheels and inner fenders cleaned with AG Custom Wheel Cleaner.

    Clayed with Automagic Blue bar
    Polished with SIP on orange CCS and PO85rd on black CCS with Makita
    LSP was AG Hi Def Wax x2. Jambs and inside fuel filler door received the same.

    Glass cleaned with AG Glass Polish
    Interior wiped down with AG Interior Shampoo
    Leather cleaned and conditioned with Lexol

    Wheels were cleaned with Werkstat Prime Strong and finished with Poorboys Wheel Sealant

    Total Time - 21.75 hours

    Owner did a bang up job of washing it for me the day before. After rewashing it, even my rinse water was clean.

    New aftermarket exhaust is so big I can almost get my arm in there up to my elbow!

    Almost done but I wasn't happy with how the steps looked. Hmmm....

    [​IMG]

    Looking underneath, simple clips hold it all together.

    [​IMG]

    All apart. Took about a minute and a half.

    [​IMG]

    Metal plates were wiped down with Poorboys and polished.

    [​IMG]

    After washing down the step and slats, all were sprayed with 303.

    [​IMG]

    All back together. That looks better.

    [​IMG]

    All done. Enjoy!:applause2:

    AMAZING!!! Absolutely stellar, she's perfect! I thought the first pictures were befores, but the difference with the afters is massive.

    Hockey pucks to lift the front end though?

    No hockey pucks. Those are the factory mounts. If you look closely you can see the bump stops. :thumb:
