  • 2008 Ford F-650

    2008 Ford F-650, 11k miles.

    I did a complete detail on it about a year ago and maintained it a bit before the winter.

    Client wanted me to clean it up and apply some protection.

    I arrived at around 7:30am and got started.

    Some befores.








    I washed the wheels, tires, and wells with Super Degreaser, All Purpose Cleaner and various brushes.

    I also foamed them up with Deep Crystal Car Wash.











    I washed the truck with 3oz Super Soap and 3oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner in my foam gun at the highest setting, working section by section.

    Bugs treated with Body Solvent and a bug sponge.










    Rinsed off:



    I clayed it with Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1 and Detailing Clay (Mild).

    I then worked in an application of #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) with my PC over all the paint and chrome.

    There was some light staining on the paint that was removed with this as well.

    It worked well in the hot sun too. I applied it pretty thick to take advantage of its cleaning ability and worked it in real well to a thin coat.

    During:






    Tires, wells, and mudflaps dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner, the wheels and glass were cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate and cotton towels.















    While I was doing that, the client was kind enough to move some things around in the shop so the truck could be pulled in to do the interior.

    I did a dry brush and vac on the carpet, cleaned all hard surfaces and leather with All Purpose Cleaner then dressed with Quik Interior Detailer. I also brushed out all crevices and vents. I also wiped the door jambs out with All Purpose Cleaner.

















    By the time I was done with that the paint was a bit dusty, so I applied some #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer to the entire truck.









    I pulled the truck outside for a final inspection of everything and then snapped a few more shots.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                      That is one Giganormous truck!!! Just look at all that real estate!!!
                      How long did it take you to bring it back up to par?
                      Nothing but top notch work as always Nick. It still probably looks better then when it rolled out of the assembly line!

                          I foamed up a section at a time, agitated that section with a wash mitt and then rinsed that section and moved on to the next.

                          There were a total of four sections.

                          1. Front bumper and grille, hood, windshield, and roof.
                          2. Left side.
                          3. Right side.
                          4. Tailgate.

                              As always, nice work Nick! That is a lot of truck to clean, but at least you get a chance to maintain it to some degree. We can't image the hours needed to correct that thing if it was allowed to get really bad!
