Workhorse Ranger saved by a daughter's generosity

[white gecko]

This belongs to the father of a friend of mine. For his birthday she wanted to have me do a light correction detail on his workhorse... this old ford ranger. Its always carrying tools, never gets washed, definitely a beast of burden! It was a pretty straightforward correction. M205 on the PCXP with LC orange then sealed with Zaino Z5pro. This was just a 1 step, so there's RIDS and some swirls left, but still cleaned up nice. The wheels were nearly permanently stained and only cleaned up a little. Polished the chrome bumpers too.



I was there to deliver it to him on his birthday and he was totally speechless and gave me a big hug. Probably one of the most appreciative customers I've ever had. This guy works so hard for his family and NEVER asks for anything in the 5 years I've known him. He was truly taken aback. It may be a modest detail, but it was one I will treasure for a long time.

50/50 shot!

Finished pics were taken by the daughter the following day since I finished late at night.

Thanks for lookin!

The camper was really heavy and definitely a 4 person job to remove. Since this was being done as a surprise, we couldn't remove it. However, the paint just behind the cab wasn't bad and I was able to reach in fairly well too.

I liked reading about this one, and yeah, it sure turned out nice for a once-over with M205.



No surprise that he was thrilled, and I bet this job gave you more satisfaction than most details.
