here is a truck i did a couple of weeks ago.

start time was 10 am finish time was 8 pm.

Proccedure :

Degrease door jams,Rims, and wheel wells
Complete Exterior wash, 2 bucket method with sheepskin
Tar and road grime removal

Second wash followed after claybar to remove any extra contaminates
Complete buff with Farecla G3 compound to remove swirls and light scratches, then followed up with Farecla G10 Polish on the rotary then topped up with Collinite Caranuba paste wax for a nice wet shine.

Finished up with dressing all tires, wells, exteior trim and polishing chrome bumpers and grille.

I was thinking the same thing 10 hours is quite a while...I wonder what he started with?

That`s quite the lengthy detail Trevor

Did you take any breaks as you went?

Looks sharp, nice work as usual

yes i work at a dealer for the time being. I had alot of interuptions during the proccess. Alot of phone calls and side jobs throughout the day. I stayed after 5pm to finish the truck. From 5 to 8 I got quite a bit accomplished.

The truck was covered in swirls and light scratches, I tried a light compound first but had no positive results. So then I went on to masking off all textured plastics, trim,mirrors,door handles. During that step I had alot of interuptions which became very frustrating as I was very eager to work on the truck.

After 5pm, within that 3 hour span I finished compounding the driver side of the truck, then polished the paint then followed up with the wax. after wax removal i moved on to cleaning up excess compound and started dressing.

Was a very long day but I was quite happy with the results when i pulled it out of the garage.

Thanks for looking

Matthew

Yes it is chrome plated plastic and can scratch very easily. I use a non-abrasive paint polish on the chrome plated plastic pieces.
