Zaino Detail 1997 F150 Truck
This is a detail of my red 1997 Ford F150. It was in need of a good spring cleanup and manage to do the detail over a 2 day period. All I can say is that Menzerna polishes rock

Total time approx 9 hours:

Day 1:

Wash with NXT wash soap and two bucket method
Clay with Megs Smooth Surface clay kit
Exterior trim treated with Ultima Tire and Trim Sealant
Tonneau cover cleaned with Megs #40
Tires dressed with Megs ASD
Interior dressed with Poorboys Natural Look
Glass cleaned with Megs NXT Glass Cleaner

Day 2

Polish with Menzerna IP via UDM and Sonus Orange pad
Polish with Menzerna FP II via UDM and Sonus Green pad
Spot polish with Sonus Orange pad (4 inch) and standard PC
Zaino Z5 ZFX'd x 3 (glass, chrome, etc)
Wipedown of Z6 in between coats
Z8 final wipedown

Very nice wetness!!! Nice touch with some of the mods too (billet grill, clear corners)

BTW, your shorts are a little short for my viewing comfort! LOL J/K!!

Outstanding work!

Hard to believe that is a 10-year-old truck!

Thanks Scott. Yeah the truck is holding up pretty well with 85,000 miles.

I still can't decide if I want to top everything with some Zaino CS...

It looks awesome!
10 years old and in better shape than just about every other car on the road.

Re: Zaino Detail 1997 F150 Truck
I would top it with CS. CS on red is very noticable. Plus the added gloss and slickness it gives hours later is insane.

That truck is mint looking now!

Oh my -a VERY rare site for a 97' pick up.

That's a 'Hall of Fame' detail. Great work!
