72 Ranchero
I detailed this car once before over a year ago. The car ended up sitting outside and not driven the whole time. He wants to sell it now so it needed to be cleaned up.

Process:
Wash w/Dawn
Clayed w/ DP Clay
2 step polish
PFW w/SIP
White CCS w/ SSR1
Topped w/Megs GC

I love the way your photos are organized in the thread. It really allows you to look at the before, and then after photos easily. Great turnaround! I assume the paint was SS?

I agree, that bed took a lot of time I'm sure. It will sell quickly looking that nice.

Re: 72 Ranchero
Thanks for the kind comments guys!!

The bed took almost two hours. Down on all fours and crawlin around like a young kid. I defintely felt the affects on Sunday morning! LOL!! Sux gettin old!!

When I called the customer to come pick it up, which he hasn't yet I told him to bring a "for sale" sign to put up cuz it will never look any better than what it does now...

Great work. With some different wheels that could be a cool ride.

Wow. Very nice. Great color. You must have gone through tons of pads on that job!
