  • F-250, 88 Firebird

    2004 Ford F-250, The owner had me wash it and add another coat of sealant, I completely detailed this truck inside and out a little over a month ago, hasnt been washed since that time either so it was pretty bad.














    Washed with #62 - Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner and a Meguiars wash mitt. The paint was smooth and free of contamination, I then applied an additional coat of NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 by hand.

    Wheels, tires and wheelwells cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, a foaming sprayer head, and various brushes.

    Tires were dressed with All Season Dressing, wheelwells were given a coating of #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner and all exterior trim was dressed with the new Scotchguard version of Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant.

    Door jambs were wiped out with a damp Water Magnet, the interior was given a good vacumm and wiped down with Quik Interior Detailer. Glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.



    A few afters:

























    1988 Pontiac Firebird, I posted some shots of what a swirled out and oxidized mess it was before back in November, I was able to snap only two after pictures I took recently, I didnt have the keys so I couldnt move it outside into the sunlight.

    When the owner calls me out this spring to touch up his collection then I will try and get some good after pictures in the sun, got close to a 95% correction I would say. At least you will be able to see how much more clarity and gloss the paint has and is no longer oxidized.

    Before:








    A few afters in the garage, you can tell how much better the paint looks though. Will get some sun shots very soon.


    I washed and clayed the paint then did the following process:

    G110/W8207/Ultimate Compound
    G110/W8207/M66 Quick Detailer
    G110/W9207/M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax

    I put in close to twelve hours on this car.

      The F-250 looks great again. The Firebird looks a lot better. Way to go.

            Thanks Dan,

            I do not know too much about it, I know it can go pretty fast and the owner has taken me for a spin in it a few times.

            Last summer I polished it out with M80 Speed Glaze and ColorX.

            Here are the few pictures I have of it, they are not really the best quality though:
