Lifted Ford F-250 DETAILED! (Liquid Black!)

[35TH LE]

Whats liquid black? Its black paint after Im done with it.

This truck was supposibly detailed 2-3 months ago... look at the swirls that were left behind be the supposed "detailers". Needless to say they wont be using that other detailer anymore.... and because of their shoddy work Ive now gained a new customer and picked up 3 other jobs while doing this one.

My buddy (one of my best friends from HS) owns the shop that I did the work at... and this truck is one of their best customers vehicles, my buddy and his partner paid for the detail as a THANK YOU to the customer for all of his business. Apparently this customer has his truck detailed religiously so I will be getting a "customer for life" out of this truck, quarterly details.

Heres the kicker.. my buddy took a couple hours to give me a quick rundown on how to use my new Hitachi (he saw it in one of my bins) and told me to go ahead and use it on the whole truck. My buddy told me the truck had been 90% repainted and if anything was to happen that he would personally fix it for me, he does paint work at his shop. After he evaluated me using it on a couple panels he let me be. I was confident yet I was worried about buffer trails... which ended up not being an issue. My totally unexpected use of the Hitachi turned out to be a pleasant experience... and seriously a LOT faster then with the PC which was going to kill me on this truck.

Here is what it looked like after the last detailer put their paws on it.


Can you believe someone made a couple hundred bucks by leaving the truck like that? Unreal.

Process:
-Megs GC wash
-Megs clay and Quick Detailer lube
-Rotary w/white pad and #83 @ 1200rpm
-Rotary w/black pad and #80 @ 1100rpm
-PC w/orange spot buff pad and #80 for small areas
-#16 x 2 by hand
-#38 dressing for trim
-AA foam for tires and wheel wells
-Flitz and powerball for wheels
-Flitz for chrome
-Stoners for glass

Heres after I was done with it..














Look at that ugly mug!

Beautiful!

Amazing work, especially for a first time rotary user.

Excellent! It always seems that those black F-250's turn into rolling mirrors when detailed, the shade of black on that color is *very* bright and reflective.

That's hot liquid for sure...WOW.
Wish there was hidden camera footage of how the trucker owner reacted when he first saw his truck....would've been priceless.
