New Shine VS F150

tdekany · 09-24-09, 04:50

Started before 10:00am and finished around 7:30pm - the car is a work truck, and used as such. I believe it is an 02. Not sure if it was ever detailed.
The owner asked me if I can really do something to this paint to make is shine?

All my time was spent on the paint. Wheels, interior, jambs etc will be done next week.

GC wash/Megs APC to wash
TOL clay
105 black wool to cut
HD uno to remove holograms from 105
Polis seal to clean paint
FK1 1000 to protect
FX100 to remove #1000 to beautify the paint
Zaino on trim
AA foam on tires

now that looks so much better . . . . . excellent job. I'm sure the owner was surprised to see his vehicle with that kind of gloss/reflection since it was in pretty horrible condition to begin with.

Awesome job TD- I really like the look of white vehicles done correctly, unfortunutely they're so few and far between.
