  • 2007 Ford F-250

    2007 Ford F-250, 135k miles.

    Client pretty much just wanted the truck cleaned up real well.

    I am limited on pictures as this was a bit of a challenge.

    Besides for the entire truck being very dirty there was stuck on grease & tar in all the jambs.

    This was pretty much just a 10hr cleaning job.

    I also was told not to go to crazy on the bed, fuel tank, gas pump hose, etc as they would be covered in diesel a few hours later.

    Befores:

    I wonder if anyone has ever tried to ONR anything dirty like this?
















    Spent over an hour pressure washing the entire truck, including the jambs, undercarriage, fuel tank & bed.




    The truck was foamed & degreased with the following:

    NXT Generation Car Wash
    Super Soap
    Wheel Brightener
    All Purpose Cleaner
    Super Degreaser
    Various wash mitts & brushes.












    Pressure washed clean, then clayed while wet with Detailing Clay (Mild) & ONR. That was followed by a 3D Wash & Wax foaming and another pressure wash rinse.







    The interior was in fair shape.

    Befores:






    Carpets & mats dry brushed then cleaned with 3D Carpet Shampoo.
    All leather & vinyl scrubbed clean with All Purpose Cleaner & a brush.
    All leather & vinyl was dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.
    Car Odor Eliminator was sprayed on all carpeting.
    Vents & crevices were brushed clean.
    Glass was cleaned inside & out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
    Jambs were cleaned with Tarminator & ONR.






























    All tar was removed from the paint & tailgate jambs with Tarminator & a terry cloth and the paint was then polished with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) and an LC 5.5" green pad with my PC.

    Tires/wells dressed with All Season Dressing.
    All chrome was cleaned with steel wool & Glass Cleaner Concentrate.

    Heres what all the door jambs pretty much looked like:





    After:




    Same goes for all lower fenders:






    Afters:




























    Client was very happy and will be having me perform the same service every month as it will get back to its original state by the end of the week.

    Looks great. That's in better shape than most of my everyday details. I'd kill to get the cars you normally do. Heck, I've spent 2+ hours just cleaning the wheels, tires, and wheel arches. And the jambs. If those were bad to you, you'd sit down and cry when you saw what I deal with on nearly every detail. LOL

    As always, great work. Glad to hear you got a repeat customer. Your attention to detail is outstanding.

      Great job Nick!! You did an amazing job cleaning up that filthy truck! I'm sure the owner was gawking when he got the truck back.

      Seemed like a lot of work...

            Awesome Job Nick! The tank came out great, did you get to wipe the paint down with some spray wax or something to make it easier on you next time.

                  Thank you Colin!

                  Took me around four hours just to get the truck washed.

                  I have done some easy details in the past but have also done some very difficult ones that were ten times worse than this.

                  Thanks again.

                  I polished it with #66 and a PC but did not apply anything after that.

                    Nick, great job! That truck was filthy.

                    I have become a fan of rinseless washing lately but on that truck I would have done a traditional wash.

                    Once again, great job!
