detailed: 2500 Dodge Ram, 2005 ford expedition

These are my first 2 details for money, the owners and my self were both very happy with the outcome. both belong to the same family, father and son (the scratchs will prove that). Both passenger sides of the vehicles where scratched from the front doors all the way back to the tail lights.

First up was the Dodge Ram,

Process

Exterior:
Washed NXT soap
Clayed
OHC via PC/yellow LC pad was used on the very bad parts
OP via PC/orange LC pad
OPS via PC/white LC pad
AW
Wheels and tire and wheel wells were clean with APC and some degrease where needed
Armor All tire foam was used in the wheel wheels
armor all tire shine

Interior:
APC wipe down
optimum interior protectant
Floor mats, Poorboys Trim Restorer
Stoners invisible glass

Sorry, for the lack of after pictures was in a rush to return the truck

Before:
After wash:






After:
Wheel Well






05 ford expedition

Same process as the Ram but finished with OP and a white/LC Pad and used NB instead of OPS

Interior was the same process but the floor mats got shampooed

Before:
After washed and wheels cleaned




left side hit with OHC right untouched:


left side OHP and OP right untouched:



After:










Thanks for looking

Constructive criticism is welcomed

You did *THAT* with a PC? I wish my first two details had come out that well. Keep up the good work!

Nice work cleaning up those branch-brush marks

They really look nasty, but I find those are usually very shallow and clean up with not too much effort. Nice work and big improvement.
