I was asked to check out this truck this last Sunday by my neighbors friend. I looked at it and was like :scared:
They asked me could i make it look better, and i answered of course, but its going to take a few days.
here is what it looked like when i brought it to the house to clean:
The paint was dull and lifeless. The shine you see just so happens because of the angle. But it was disguisting.
Anywho, i started washing the truck with Megs Gold Class, cleaned the arches with simple green and cleaned the tires with Eagle 1 A2Z cleaner. The wheels were steel wooled then polished with megs metal polish by hand.
Finally after the truck dried, i moved on to polish with my dewalt and megs so1o yellow wool and megs #83. Then moved on to polishing with megs 8006 buffing pad on the dewalt and #83 and then finished with #83 and the 8006 on my g100.
Paint before:
After :
This combo removed most of the scratches and swirlz. Not all came out, but the customer wasnt too worried about those, but were more so worried with just bringing a shine back. As i was working the paint, my partner removed the tails and painted them black again.
After polishing, i topped the paint with Auto Glyms HD wax (awesome stuff!), dressed the tires with hot shine, the wells with Megs Hyper Dressing, mixed about 6-7 to 1. I wish i could have gotten a before of the interior, but i just wanted to get to work on this thing. The inside got Folexed in my Bissel, dash wiped with quik interior detailer, and windows cleaned with stoner IG.
heres the afters:
Hope you enjoy!
They took delivery of it today, so it took me 3 days to work on.
