Not much of a process.



Coin-op wash.

ArmorAll wash by hand.

Gummed up the clay really fast.

91% alcohol and trashed a bunch of MFs. (this worked MUCH faster than the clay)

Meg`s #2 via PC and Sonus Green pad (it`s not green any more)

Meg`s #20

CK metal polish on bumper

NXT on black trim and dash

7 hours

Looking really good in the afters...Looks like you got a little bit of haze though from your sealants maybe?





Regardless, very very nice.

How the hell do you get that much overspray on a truck? I`d slap that guy if I were you.

I don`t know how to explain the haze. 10 minutes after polishing, the haze was back. Maybe I didn`t go deep enough but there were several places where the paint was completely gone (on sharp edges, not to mention the chips and scratches). Needless to say, I don`t like SS paint.
