  • 1998 f150 TLC..56K Beware!

    Hey gang,

    This is my Mom's 1998 Ford F150 pickup. It use to belong to my grandpa as a farm truck, but my Mom bought it after he passed away. The truck was never detailed fully before. It has been washed, but that's it. This time the truck got pampered inside and out.

    Steps used:

    Exterior:
    Deep Crystal Car Wash
    Castrol Super De greaser (tires)
    Clay
    D151 on a 8006 pad w/ G100 on body panels and bug shield
    NXT Tech Wax on body panels w/ 9006 pad and G100
    Exterior Trim Detailer

    Engine Bay:
    APC+ 10:1
    Exterior Trim Detailer

    Interior:
    APC+ on carpet, seats, and trim panels
    Shop Vac
    Silicone Free Dressing
    M23 Odor Eliminator

    It took me about twelve hours to do the complete job. Did the exterior the first day and the interior the next day. My Mom hasn't seen it yet, since she is on a trip with my Dad (in the Skyliner ) Hopefully she will be surprised with it. I haven't told her I done it yet.

    VERY COOL!
    The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.

        It looks great! Your mom is going to think she got a new truck.

            She will be pleased. Great work, did you dress the tires with anything?

                Nice turnaround.
                If its fast, loud, and runs on a flammable liquid...count me in.

                  I didn't get a chance to do anything to the tires except clean them. I might just leave them like that. They cleaned up pretty good. Thanks for the kind comments gang.

                        Great results. I particularly like the way you planned the "before" and "after" shots.
