Just over 2k miles on this big`en.



It has pulled the clients fifth wheel camper once already.



No correction or clay needed. But I had to find a reason to use the metabo. :D



Before pics, well it is just about brand new.

I used DG 901 carwash soap w/ the foam lance. Not sure what the deal was, I used 2oz to 30oz of water. This is the same mix I use with Z7 and I get allot more foam with the Z7. I double checked the mixture setting and it was set at half as usual. :think:

I did not rinse, but just did a 2 bucket wash with DG 901 soap.



Rinsed down the paint and cleaned the wells, wheels and tires with AM Red Hot APC 1:1. I need to pick up another gallon of this great APC and at $10 a gallon, I will pickup two of them. Rinsed all the above areas with pressure washer.



I decided to use ZAIO as I really like the way it looks on darker colors, even if I am going to use ZFX.



So I got out the metabo, a white LC VC pad and worked the ZAIO in at 1300 or so on all the paint, glass, black and chrome trim.

I then applied 2x of ZFX`d Z5pro.



Applied one application of CS and finished with Z8.



Interior got a quick vac and wipedown.



Tires got 1x of Z-16 and wheels got ZAIO.

Great work on a really cool truck



Although I hate hate hate the `08 wheels on the F-250`s, the 20" wheels of 07 were much cooler.

Very nice work. It would really suck to have to de-swirl something of that size, nice to see it was in good shape to start with.
