Nice turnaround. Really good gloss on that white paint also.

I admire this kind of work, fixing a work truck is tough work! Great job making it look brand new!

Re: '98 Dodge 2500 detail

I'm really impressed. From the before pics and the process, I wouldn't have thought that it would turn out so well. Hats off to you.

Great work! I didn't realize that 151 had enough bite to take out swirls like that. How many passes did you make?

Sorry it took so long to reply.

I like 151 so far. I worked it until it disappeared into the paint. If not worked long enough, it can be a real bear to remove. In these pics I made slow, half over-lapping passes until broken down fully.
