Quick exterior freebie. I wanted to remove all the scratches, but the owner told me not to bother, followed by a direct quote of his own words: "Eh, it`s just a truck, you know?"
Good condition overall at 68,000 miles, he takes care of it. It was just swirled to hell, with a lot of isolated scratches. I really wanted to break out the rotary and Powergloss, but I stuck with what he told me.
Wash.
1 pass of Menzerna IP with a cutting pad on the PC.
1 pass of Menzerna FPII with a polishing pad on the PC.
Four Star UPP to seal (Bought it over a year ago and hardly ever used it.)
Armor All on tires and plastic trim.
