NONE!!! The prep made it look that good. I bet you if he took pictures with no LSP vs with you could not see the difference. Maybe in person, but not in a digital picture, especially as low res as the ones posted on forums are. |

Todd,
The prep alone took me almost 4 hours (wash, clay, rims & tires, engine compartment, door jambs, etc..) before I was ready to start buffing. The interior took me a couple hours and I'd say I had about 9 to 10 hours of polishing in total, which isn't really bad considering the shape it was in. The wool pad was definitely my friend with this detail! I should have charged more, but oh well.  |

Re: Scratched up Ford F250 Pickup
Awsome work! How did you buff/reach the painted cap/roof? I find those areas a PITA to reach.

This statement is the "meat and potatoes" of the detail, and to me, is way more important than what lsp was used. You did an unbelievable job on this detail, and the quality of finish you ended up with after such extensive correction is where your talent really shines. Most people don't want to take the time it requires to convert something from what could almost be considered a "beater" to what now looks just as good, if not better, than showroom perfect which is why so many people are stuck on what products were used. Sorry guys, without the elbow grease it just doesn't happen.
Absolutely beautiful, Rick.  |
