F350 Work Truck

Customer was going on vacation and let me use his shop to detail his work truck while he was gone. Typical work truck, lots of dirt and grease, crumbs in the backseat from the kids, grease stains in the carpets from dirty boots...etc. Wshing this thing was a chore in itself. I took it to the jet wash, degreased everything, scrubbed down the wheel wells and got it as clean as I could. I have done a few SUV's now but nothing has compared in size to this thing. Customer was very happy and was really pleased with how well the interior came out. Process to follow:

Wash at jet wash using:
Megs WB and OXO Wheel scrubber
Westely's Tire White for the RWL's
Megs DG for the wheel wells

Clayed using Megs Clay
Wiped down with Megs QD

Polished with:
XMT4 w/yellow CCS
SSR1 w/orange CCS
KAIO w/ white CCS
Sealed w/ Opti Seal (This stuff made my life so much easier! Gave it another coat the next morning and looked even better!!)

Tires and wells w/HD
Rims were cleaned w/DG. WB and a ton of elbow grease and still weren't perfect. Given a coat of AW

Interior:
Vacuumed
Wiped down with APC and dressed with DP Protectant
Carpets cleaned with APC - Tougher stains got LGCM
Seats were cleaned w/Magic Eraser and dressed with DG Leather Conditioner

Glass was cleaned w/ Stoner's IG
Whole truck was given one final coat of AW including glass.

......and the pics. Sorry for the lack of full body after pics.....ran out of time and room.

Re: F350 Work Truck

Very nice! The truck looks great. The filth on the inside is disgusting though. Not to often you see work trucks in good condition as it is now, least down here anyway

Re: F350 Work Truck

Great job! Especially like the interior and the reflection off the fender shot.
