Ford F150, Black #2
Well here is the 2nd truck in the family...same issues - holograms, heavy swirling, lots of deeper scratches, and slight oxidation. This on made for a fun day, about 7 hours again from start to finish. This one got me ANOTHER....no not black F150, but a white VW that is just hammered. She wants to sell it, so I get to detail it before that happens.
Anyway, same products as last time too, SIP and poliseal. I tried out some megs PRC, but it takes a little longer than poliseal to break down, and I was running out of day light, so I opted for poliseal again. Only thing left in the paint were the deeper scratches as this was just another two step, and not a full correction!
PC
menzerna SIP
lc orange 5.5" pads
optimum poliseal
lc white 5.5" pads
meguiars trim detailer
one grand chrome polish
chemical guys barebones
meguiars blue clay
chemical guys luber clay lubricant
3m green painters tape
BEFORES
And here are the Afters...night and day!!!

Re: Ford F150, Black #2
Definitely night and day! How did you find the clear on this truck, as far as hardness goes?

That's Beautiful! I bet it didn't even look like that coming from the dealership.

Re: Ford F150, Black #2
yes I did. I applied it to all the trim all over the truck, then went back around and buffed the excess off so that it wasnt as greasy. Then once it dries it stays that way for about 3-4 weeks without streaking
