Chet's Official Detailing Thread

[chethewitt]

After seeing Rasky's detailing thread on another board...I'm going to post all of my work in one thread to streamline things a bit.

To start things off...I'll post a Ford SVT Raptor I recently did.

Truck came from dealership with scuff mark near hood. M205 and blue LC pad handled it quickly. Otherwise, paint was in relatively good shape.
















Finished with my favorite wax over top of chem guys blacklight sealant. (blacklight sealant under blacklight midnight sun is better, but takes longer to cure)

Re: Chet's Official Detailing Thread

To keep with the truck theme...Did this one for a 2nd time today.

Meg's metal polish rocks!

And a Z71 I did for a friend of mine...whose brother owns the truck and is serving in Afghanistan. We thought we'd surprise him with a freshly detailed truck.

Entire truck was in the condition below.


After 6-8 hours of correction...








No products, just a nicely leveled clear coat.


Chem Guys Blacklight Sealant, Cherry Wax from Detail King (a wax I have great luck with)

Re: Chet's Official Detailing Thread

Thanks for the compliments, to dixie, purchase some supplies and we can help you get through a mild paint correction.

If you posted pictures I'm sure I could walk you through the various steps without too many problems. A good dual action orbital along with meg's 105/205 with foam pads really make the process easy and safe.

Re: Chet's Official Detailing Thread

Owner of the Tacoma also owns a 2010 Z06.

I will post more detailed before/after pics once his vette is finished.

Re: Chet's Official Detailing Thread

Just did a 2010 Nissan Titan. Paint was in decent shape, had some swirls and light marring. Went over entire truck with m105, m205 combination, then blackfire sealant and p21s wax. Optimum tire gel on tires and 303 protectant on black plastics. Monster truck in background is next to be detailed.
