2009 Ford F-150 Black

This was requested as an exterior detail, clay and`one-step/mild polishing (so not a full correction job). Finished it with OS

I wanted to put this picture up first. I think it is very telling of what`even a minor`polishing job can do to bring out the clarity in the paint. (Front half not polished, back half polished)

Now, a few befores:

Claying wasn`t too bad. The worst area was the rear tailgate, as I`ve noticed is the case with most pickup trucks. Otherwise, it had the usual areas of road grime behind the wheels.

After some polishing, a lot of the swirling was removed.

I have no idea what that black mark is on the right side of the picture. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/zoundbarrier/null_zps0246a5c9.jpg (`http://s204.photobucket.com/user/zoundbarrier/media/null_zps0246a5c9.jpg.html`)

Wheels cleaned up nicely and received a coat of sealant on the faces to help protect them.
