This truck was just purchased by my friends father. I forget what year it is. I think it's either a 1940 or a 1948? He is an old gear-head and is really into his cars. He's also has a 1949 Chevy sedan that I will be detailing in the near future.
The paint is about 10 years old on this truck, so there were a few chips on the front of it as well as other imperfections that are expected for 10 year old paint. It had a lot of unfinished areas from whoever wetsanded it back in the day. It was really tough to get in all of the nooks and crannies, especially around the rear fenders, but I had some 3 inch pads that I used on the end of a cordless drill that worked pretty well in getting in the tight spots. I had to do some of the areas by hand.
It came out really nice for 10 year old paint!
My process was:
Wash w/ONR
Cleaned tires and wheels
Clayed with Adams clay bar
Buffed complete exterior with SIP using yellow wool pad
Buffed complete exterior with Optimum Hyper using yellow foam compounding pad
Buffed complete exterior with 106ff using a white polishing pad
Buffed complete exterior using Optimum polish/RMG mix
Collinite Insulator Wax by hand
Aquawax wipedown
Topped with Natty's Red by hand
Super Blue dressing on the tires and wheel wells
