Heres an F-450 I did today. Pretty dirty in general, paint was a bit rough as well. Turned out pretty good in the end though.
Befores:
During:
Washed the wheels, tires, wheelwells, and mudflaps with Deep Crystal Car Wash, Wheel Brightener, Super Degreaser, and various brushes.
Ended up washing the truck itself with Ultimate Wash and Wax, a Meguiars Microfiber Wash Mitt, and then dried with several Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towels.
I then clayed the paint with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer. I then proceeded to clean the paint with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) and several W8207 pads via the PCXP. I then waited an hour and then applied a coat of #20 - Polymer Sealant with a W9207 pad.
I think I like M20 better than NXT or M21. M20 Polymer Sealant is easier to use and looks better IMO, I also like the fact that it is a light duty cleaner wax and has awesome durability.
Here is what a thin coat of cured #20 looks like:
Dressed the tires with All Season Dressing. Figured I would snap a shot of me dressing something?
I had my hat on since it was pretty cold still, turned the heat on when I got to the owner's shop at around 4:20 this morning, took awhile to get it warm enough to where I like it.
Tried out the new Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant, the new one has Scotchguard now. I was going to use something else but decided why not give it a try on the exterior.
Afters:
Let me know what you think.
