  • Detailing fiberglass

    I have had a request from my brother in law : he'd like me to detail his work rig. He earns his life in this thing. It's a '00 12 wheelers Peterbilt dump truck. He wants me to detail only the cabin, hood and interior. He'd like me to remove most of the scratches and swirls on it. Though I have been detailing cars for a few years, I have never done something like that. Upon inspection, most of the work will easily be done with my regular techniques.

    However, the hood is made of fiberglass. I don't know how to describe this, but it seems like the paint isn't ON the fiberglass but IN it. How should I proceed ? Should I use marine products ? I still have a few months to think about it since there is no way this will fit in my garage I will have to do it in the summertime, which right now seems faaaaar away (weather forecast says snowstorm tomorrow... again)

    Not sure if its the same or not but I have fiberglass parts on my 2012 Harley and I correct, polish and wax/seal the same way as my cars without issue.

      20 or 50 should do you fine. Those would be my choice
