Black Chevy Silverado - FK1 Pink Wax

Joshua312 · 04-06-06, 04:10

Alright well I would have to say this is my first "mobile job" I went to the business, parked my car and got ready for a day of detailing! This is my friends Chevy Silverado, dont know the year sorry..but relatively new. Car was washed this morning by him so this was the process:

Optimum Compound/Polish on Meguiars Cutting Pad
FPII on Meguiars Polishing Pad
Final Polish wiped off with OCW
FK1 Pink Wax
OCW on Windows
Armor All in wheel wells
Bold N' Bright on Tires
Klasse AIO on Chrome
Poorboys Trim Restore on Trim
Poorboys Wheel Sealant on Wheels
Tires and wheel wells were cleaned with Amazing Roll Off
Final wipedown with FK1 #1000 Sealant Glaze

I'd say the truck came out with about 98% of the swirls gone. I was very impressed with FPII!! It got rid of micromarring hazing very easy...Worked it too fast to begin with and got no results, then started going slower with it and I was good to go!

For my first mobile job...I got plenty of looks from other guys working in the area in their shops..Even had one guy ask if I could come look at his new Chevy Colorado - had a bunch of tar and contaminants, he left for 5 minutes, I took some clay and klasse and cleaned it right up for him! I gave him my card when he returned and told him I would finish it off for him if he would like!

Befores: The first one was taken in the garage...Shows the swirls the best without the reflections outside...the truck was covered in these swirls

Wow, much, much better! I really like the attention you gave the fenderwells too, smaller stuff like that really set you apart from the competition.

JoeJ · 04-06-06, 06:16

that looks amazing man, great turn around. What did you use to clean and degrease the rear frame and spring pack? I've never been able to get mine to shine like that...

Thank you to everyone for all the kind remarks so far. I really appreciate the kind words and any critisicm you may have to offer.

Scott- When I always see your posts I see the attention you give to the wheel wells and I always think they look great, it really does make a huge difference. So thank you for catching my detail to the wheel wells.

JoeJ- I used Amazing Roll Off Diluted 5-1...Even diluted this stuff works great...I sprayed it on, used a small brush to get the surface clean...Then dipped a retired wash mitt into a bucket of Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine and cleaned the wheel wells. I then sprayed Armor All in the wheel wells, and spray and wipe to the painted surfaces in the wells. Hope this helps!

Sets us apart from the hackers. The more obvious the difference, the better it is for us.

The lady I detailed an Escalade for today was stunned at the attention I gave the fenderwells, said she never really paid any attention to them before. However, once she saw the contrast of the blacked out fenderwells on her pearl Escalade, she understood.

I actually used Optimum Compound/Polish on a 50/50 mix...I am looking into getting some DACP however to maybe use with a polishing pad so I wont need to use the cutting pad
