Detail: Harley Davidson F150 (hammered/oxidation)

[ReLoaDeD BuLLiTT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Red][B]This truck needed some MAJOR attention. It's been years since it's had a wax, and probably never a polish. The owner had neglected it for so long, that it was almost at a point of no return! This truck is owned by one of N2S's members, 'derek'


Process:

ONR washed entire vehicle.
Clay barred entire vehicle with 2 Zaino claybars and Megs Clay Lube.
PFW w/menz pg, followed by white ccs pad w/ megs m205
sealed with optimum poliseal
Wheels and side steps removed and polished with #0000 steel wool and sealed with poorboys' wheel sealant
Exhaust tips used same method as wheels

Made quite a bit more progress today. All of the rest of the truck but the hood and roof and tonneu is completely done minus sealant/wax.


Here's a few more during/after shots of it:



50/50 (AFTER/BEFORE

Before shot of a deep, nasty scratch. (removed about 90 percent of this with some wetsanding and polish)

Hit this one panel with optimum poliseal and a coat of s100, game out like this next shot below:








tomorrow I should have the nasty-ass hood and roof complete, possibly the tonneau cover, and a coat of sealant and wax on the entire vehicle.

Thanks for looking.

Today, the entire truck got another ONR wash and was hand sealed/waxed with some poliseal and s100 carnuba wax. We removed the washer squirters from the hood to ensure 100 percent of it was corrected.


Hood's coming along nicely:









(pictures taken after hitting the panels with a megs yellow diamond cut pad and some menz power gloss, followed by some m205 on a white megs pad.

there is no wax on the hood yet in these pictures.

After 5+ hours of polishing/hard work, here's the money shots of the hood:

That is a great save. What a transformation. The truck looks fantastic. Great work, way to go. Everything looks great.

Truck looks amazing! Nice work! A slightly more in depth write up would have been nice, such as speeds used on the Rotary, how long did this truck take you start to finish< did you have a helper? What product did you use with the #000 Steel wool on the rims/skirts?
