2005 Ford F-250. One of the vehicles I did last Sunday when we got all that rain in Dallas. As you will see in the pics, I had a very nice garage to work in.
I wash it a couple times a month, the off weeks he runs it through a tunnel wash. It was starting to get some halo swirls and some scuffs in it as you can see (not sure what the red reflection is):
After polishing with Menzerna 106FF using a Lake Country polishing pad and removing the excess with Optimum Car Wax-still a bit of dust left behind though. I had not yet polished under the door window, I think you can see the line where I stopped polishing.
I normally would have used a more aggressive polish or pad initially but the owner told me to not kill myself on his truck, save it for his Cayenne.
A few days later in the full sun, I got another shot. Still some very minor swirling when looking up at it, head on, you couldn't see them at all. Considering the swirls and only one polishing step, I am pretty happy with how well 106FF did.
Full shots in his garage, and after also topping with Poorboy's EX w/carnauba:
I didn't get any sun shots other than the one posted, the roads were still damp on Monday when he drove his truck to work and the sides didn't look that good.

2005 Cadillac Escalade. New, only washed it a few time so far. Customer said to "put a light wax" on it. He's kind of cheap so he didn't want any polishing (really didn't need it anyway). I applied a coat of Optimum Car Wax and that is it. Sorry about the poor lighting, I didn't have his keys so I couldn't pull it out.
