    First Winter Detail

    Normally I shut down during the winter for detailing because my garage doesn`t have heat or water. I had a friend contact me asking me to do his truck for him before his baby was born and said I could use his company`s building to do it in. Well I figured I could use the extra cash so I agreed. I didn`t realize how much stuff I had until I had to load it all up haha. The truck is his work truck and also is used for when he goes hunting so it sees a lot of rough conditions. Overall the truck came out pretty good. We went with a 1 step polish as he was more concerned with a good interior cleaning. I went with Fast Gloss 400 on an orange pad with my Flex 3401. It got about 80% of the imperfections out and left a great shine. There was a lot of RIDS that were way to deep to polish out but in the end he was very happy. The before pictures were taken with my cell phone so they aren`t that great. On with the pictures.

    50 views and not a single reply. I guess it is still the slow season for most

    Great job. I am sure he was thrilled with the turnaround. What did you use on the tires??

    That truck cleaned up nice. The driver`s floor and engine bay don`t look like they could be the same truck as the befores.
