While out working on a long-time client's car, I was introduced to the owner of this truck. After discussing options he decided to go for a 2 stage correction on his truck and a basic (no paint correction) on his two other cars. The truck was in very poor shape, but thankfully the paint was quite soft and corrected easily. About 85% correction was achieved on this one. There were still some RIDS left as this was far from a full correction but the improvement was dramatic. Unfortunately the client lacked honesty and integrity and also *tried* to physically intimidate me.....so he will have to go elsewhere from now on.
Big thank you to my long-time client Bob Smith for volunteering the use of his garage for me to do this job.
Upon arrival, it was in a very poor state, neglected for years.
Lots of oxidation
Total lack of beading....no surprise there
Heavy contamination, paint felt like sandpaper. Went through 2 clay bars on this one.
....before
....after compounding (final polishing to be done later)

The whole bed and cover were in this condition
After correcting the other side of the bed..
Time to work the cab over....
Clarity restored
The glass had very heavy water spots and was also corrected.
After 2 long days on this rough truck, it was finished.
*Note running boards were not addressed as the owner had chrome ones coming in next week*
Thanks for checking it out!
