2003 Ford F250 Powerstroke Diesel

[whiteg240]

Here is a 2003 Ford F250 Powerstroke Diesel. This truck was purchased by my father about 6 months ago. While it looked good driving off the lot, it was in need of some attention. I recently purchased some Menzerna Power Gloss Compound and figured I would give it a full Menzerna Detail.



Here are the steps that I used. All products were Menzerna unless otherwise noted.



Paint:

Power Gloss Compound (x2 on some spots, mainly on the hood and top of the fenders)

Intensive Polish

Full Molecular Jacket



Grill, Bumpers, Rims and Running Boards:

Meguiars Cleaner Wax



Tires and Fenderwells:

Armor All Tire Gel



Total Time: Approximately 6 hours.



Here are some before pictures: (They didn`t come out too great, but they do show the swirls that needed to be removed. These swirls were all over the truck)

nice truck...must feel like the king of the road with that height...hahaha

[whiteg240]

Thanks for the comments. The Truck is at stock height. You do sit pretty high, and it`s kinda cool looking down on many people as you pass them by.

Wow...helluva turn around...in the amount of time you spent (6 hours) you couldnt have possibly done any better....nice work....for any amount of time! wow



Also what kind of pad combos did you use with the Menzerna?

[whiteg240]

I was using all Wolfgang pads. For the Power Gloss, I was using a combination of Orange and Yellow compound pads. I would also spray the pad with a little water to help with the compound. For the Intensive Polish, I was using a white polishing pad. For the FMJ, I used a black finishing pad.



Each of these pads were 8" pads. These are the newer style ones with the dimples in the pad.
