The latest customer I just finished up was more then happy when he picked up his truck. He had a lot of expletives when he was walking around talking about the paint, engine bay, interior, etc. It always makes me feel pretty damn good when someone expresses their appreciation for what I did for them. The truck itself was in pretty good shape minus all the contaminants that were stuck on the paint. The clay bar I was using was shot by the time it was all said and done. He works where there is a lot of dust which you will see from the engine bay. The paint wasn't in too bad of shape, just some typical swirls but the paint was pretty easy to work with. Here is what I all used. -Interior was done first so I wiped down all the door panels and dash with Leather and Interior Cleaner -Cleaned the inside of the windows with Glass Cleaner -Dressed the door panels and dash with SVRT -Swept out the truck -Cleaned floor mats with All Purpose Cleaner -Sprayed the carpet with Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner and let dwell for 5 minutes. Sprayed with hot water from my Bissell Auto then agitated with capet brush and extracted -Dressed floor mats with SVRT -For the outside I started by cleaning the rims with Green Wheel Cleaner and boars hair bush and cleaned the wheels and wheel wells with All Purpose Cleaner -Foamed the truck with a mix of Car Shampoo and All Purpose Cleaner to strip the paint -2 bucket wash with grit guards with a Car Shampoo and All Purpose Cleaner mix -Sprayed the engine bay with All Purpose Cleaner and agitated that with the wheel well brush and sprayed it off -Dried the truck with Great White Drying Towel and Detail Spray -Clayed the truck with Adam's clay and Detail Spray as the lubricant -Did the 2 step polishing with Swirl and Haze Remover followed by Fine Machine Polish -Waterless Wash wipe down to get any remaining polish residue off -Applied Machine Super Sealant. Wiped off after 45 minutes. 12 hours later did wipe down with Detail Spray -Applied a coat of Brilliant Glaze -Dressed the engine bay, tires, bed cover, and all other plastic trim with SVRT and In and Out Spray -Sprayed Invisible Undercarriage Spray in the wheel wells I think that is all lol. On with the pics. Before pics After pics
Looks fantastic! About how many total hours did this take? I love seeing pictures of more "normal", everyday cars instead of the fancy exotic cars that so commonly come up.
that is a lot of real estate............. I cry myself too sleep about if its worth doing a full correction on my truck. Great work
great results man! that clay bar changed into a different colour...haha lots of work involved and area covered. =)
Nice work! I have a Black Ram 1500 ext cab coming up and if you don't mind me asking what did you charge for your multi-step? I am leaning more towards a clay, AIO like D151 and then Collonite or Duragloss to seal, only because the customer has a certain budget.
