  • 2004 Ford F-150

    This truck was completed on the 3rd & 4th of July.

    I do not have a lot of pictures as it was a time consuming job and I did several other jobs over the holiday weekend.

    This is a work/company truck that belongs to a construction company.

    It had been neglected for a while and the carpet was trashed and all the vinyl was loaded with grease, oil, & coffee.

    Before:














    The entire truck was pressure washed for about an hour.
    Bed, tires, wheels, wells, jambs, & mats soaked in FS Purple Power.
    Bugs soaked in 3D Citrus bug/tar remover.
    Foamed/washed with Super Soap.

    During:





    Interior.

    Vac/dry brush/vac.
    Leather/vinyl cleaned with Purple Power 1:1 and hot water mix.
    Leather/vinyl dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.
    Carpets shampooed with 3D Carpet Shampoo.
    Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
    Jambs cleaned with ONR.




























    Exterior:

    The paint was dry & just doing a test spot by hand on the tailgate with some M66 made it stick out a lot. The green clearcoat was dry & contaminated.

    Clayed with Meguiars blue clay & #34 - Final Inspection.
    Polished/waxed with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) via PCXP.
    Tires/wells dressed with Hyper-Dressing 2:1.
    Trim treated with All Season Dressing,
    Painted undersides degreased with Tarminator.

    These were taken at about 8am as the client needed the truck back in the morning.

    The pics are poor and short but you should be able to see a difference on the exterior.

    Man that truck is just trashed to hell... The interior is just nasty!!! I can't believe there are people that let their rides get trashed like that... I mean you are inside it driving around right??

    Great job on the detail and amazing turnaround Nick!!! The truck looks like a different car with a different color now. The paint got its reflections back LOL! It's amazing what a proper detail can do. I hope you were able to charge extra on this detail because it looked like a lot of work.

            Very nice work one again Nick !
            The interior was trashed and you got it back to new. You seem to get great results with 3D Carpet Shampoo, even on this light colored carpet.

                Hi Nick, I had forgotten the mess of gravel roads, but drove out to the family farm over the holiday and the dust gets everywhere.

                Look at the first photo, the knob and lever for seat adjust are covered, so you know there is dust and dirt everywhere. In later photos, spotless and shiny.

                Dramatic turnaround.

                  Great Job Nick, what kind of brush is that I see you using on the bed? I still dont get why people get lariat work trucks were thy dont care for the interior, and the cream/beige interior on top of it, very tough to keep clean as a work truck.

                        Thanks Marc.

                        The truck was not the worst I have done but it was just bad in general.

                        No, did not get to charge extra on this one as everyone around here is playing the "Im broke card" LOL.

                        It was nearly 100 degrees the second day of the detail.

                        Now I know what you guys out there have to deal with.

                        Thank you.

                        Its a deck scrub brush from Ace Hardware with a small brush head attachment.

                        I bought it a long time ago and recently found it again.

                          Nick,
                          Do you pretty much follow the 3D Shampoo instructions for cleaning or do you follow your own method?
