    This particular truck serves the duties of the daily for this father of two very young kids. So naturally it hadn't had a thorough cleaning in quite some time, if ever. This was going to be a big job so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Full leather correction and exterior paint correction were desired. The most difficult aspect of this detail was trying to maneuver around the truck with the garage door closed... as in it didn't happen lol.

    Exterior:
    Foam wash
    Clay bar
    Dried
    Masked
    Griot's 6" DA with Yellow / Black Uber Foam Pads
    Menzerna FG400
    Menzerna Powerlock

    Interior:
    Wipe down
    Vacuum
    Griot's 3" DA with Brush attachments
    1Z DPC
    Lexol Leather Conditioner
    Folex Carpet Cleaner

    Hard to capture good pictures on white subjects but I think these will do. Unfortunately, the weather kept me from doing my normal order of operation so we will start with the interior and then continue to the rest...

    Upon arrival:

    I should have taken a picture of what it looked like under these trim pieces I removed. It was full of dirt, grass, and filth.

    So, naturally I picked the dirtiest seat and went to town:

    Once the seats were done I moved on down to the carpet...

    Back seats looking good...

    Moving along to the exterior now. Couldn't get any better before shots of the outside so these will have to suffice!

    Of course the sun wasn't out when I pulled it out to check the results!
