Hey guys! A great day for detailing other than sitting in the sun :lol:
This was a detail for my sisters truck, her 1999 Dodge Ram. She helps me out a lot, so I always wash her truck for free and even detil it for free. It was in need of some TLC so I went to town with the HF Rotary today! I had some difficulties at first, I applied Megs Med Cut cleaner at 1,500 RPM's, and I was EXTREMELY careful to not use too much pressure or let the pad catch an edge, but the Med Cut was leaving swirls and marring like I couldn't believe so I switched to P&S's UltraCoat Polish, and amazingly it removed almost all the spider webbing and every bit of the marring! The only trouble areas were the hood and the top of the truck, but I let them slide since I didn't want to take a chance of leaving the truck in swirl city.
Process:
Dawn Wash
Clay
Ultracoat Polish via Rotary @1500-2,000 RPM's with a LC Megs Pad
Meguairs #20 X2, by hand
Megs #26 X1 by hand
Megs Last Touch DS for the finale
In between each coat (half hour in between each coat), I applied Armor All to the fender wells, P&S Wipe N' Shine on the tires, AIO/IG on windows, Blue Magic Metal Polish on all chrome, and P&S Shape Up on all trim
Sorry about the splotchy mirror and the dirt I missed in the fender well, I was trying to rush and finish everything up, and I didn't think about spiffing up before pics
I didn't get any up close shots, sorry about that. However, there's PLENTY of depth to the paint, and the metallic is sorta muted, but a good mute IMO. The only spider webbing left is on the hood and the very top, but like I said, they were pretty bad and I didn't want to ruin the finish. Maybe next time!
