DD, RR Supercharged, X3, F350 - WOW what a week

Ok here it is, 2 SUV's and 1 Massive Truck.

Its been a long week.

Let's start with the F350 - This was a new car prep, I have to say after seeing all these exotics with extremely horrible new car preps I would take this Ford all day long.
This F350 had zero imperfections! Wash, Clay, Polish, Wolf's Nano Sealant, was all it needed on the exterior. For the interior your basic vac, glass, and leather clean/condition.

Now on to the BMW X3 - this was a friend's sister's X, it hasn't been touched in a few years. The X had 90k plus on it and it came out great however the wheels were so bad they needed to be refinished. Nothing we could do would removed the etched in brake dust.

Thanks for reading this thread. I hope you enjoyed it.

 

Nice to see you finally doing a truck! LOL Over half the vehicles I do are large SUVs and full size trucks. New F350s are quite nice though. Great jobs, looks like it made for a long week.

 

Ken,

I hear you on that. LOL....

Hey I get what I can get ; )

 

how long did it take you from start to finish of each vehicle?

 

Great work Phil! Everything turned out fantastically!

 

The X3 wheels didn't look bad from the pictures given.
I love the shot of after you cleaned the running boards on the Rr. I don't know why but I do. lol

 

The RR provided perfect action shots of Iron Cut and Sonax FE.

Great work!

 

WOW! That's a lot of work!

 

Phil, do you by chance know what wheels are on that Range Rover?

 

Vossen VVS082

 

They all came out great Phil. Did you apply Body Wrap by hand? I used my DA and a Gold LC pad on our van with great results.

 

The RR was about 11 hours, the X3 was about 10 hours, and the F350 was 5 hours.

I had help on the X3 and the F350.

This was done over Fri/Sat

 

Body Wrap by hand

 

Unfortunately or Fortunately the 3 piece Vossen wheels have all been discontinued.

 

Beautiful, careful, detailed, work on all three, Phil and Team !

Hard to see a Bimmer that went 95k miles and never had a clean up, wow, people are too busy to take care of their vehicles anymore...

Liked to see them all, but my favorite would be the Range Rover - it really turned out and looks great !!!

Thanks for sharing, thanks for working so hard to do the work and then still make the time to dump the camera, edit, and include all the pics !!!!!

You guys are the BEST !!!!

Dan F

 

Nice work Phil!

-Kody-

 

You weren't kidding about having a BUSY weekend, they came out great props to you for touching the truck lol I would hate to have to do one!

 

Why is that? Is the size intimidating? It was the simplest of the 3 details posted.

 

yup it was the easiest of all 3, but what was bad was it was humid and the f series trucks won't fit in the garage bay so we did this one outside.

I'm spoiled I like working in a cool air conditioned garage ; )

 

My wife had a Crew Cab 250 diesel......... Not the easiest truck to detail.
