| | | Detailed: 2004 F-350
Hey guys. Haven't been here much....I've been working some late days this week. This one is owned by the owner of the motorhome and LS430 that I did last week. I did a full detail on this work truck about 3 months ago. He's in it all the time so it's hard to keep clean. Since he went out west to hunt this week, I grabbed it and gave a good detail. Here's what it got.... NXT Car Wash and Meguiar's Clay Bar (Washed with Wash ShMitt. Wheels done with Wheel ShMitt.) XMT#1 (EDGE2K "Experimental" Green Cutting Pad at #5 PC setting) After claying, there were not any severe swirls or scratches since it's last polishing. I just wanted a clean surface for the 845 to adhere to. Once again, I love the work time and remarkable cut for XMT's lightest polish. No dust and no fuss. Collinite's No.845 Insulator Wax (EDGE2K "Experimental" Blue Finishing Pad at #4 PC setting) I wanted wanted this thing protected for this winter. The customer owns the local marina but builds houses in the winter here. I just put on a thin even layer. I let dry and haze over for about 1 hour while I cleaned the interior. I then removed by PC with my white EDGE2K finishing pad. Remarkable shine for such a durable wax! I'll keep everyone posted on the durability. Other Products used... Meguiar's APC Meguiar's Degreaser DuraGloss APC 401 (A very nice APC. Strong and smells great. I used it on the door panels and floor) No-Touch Tire Care (I found this on sale for 1.75 per can. I bought 20! It's actually glossier than Armor All's foam.) Some prducts used....

| | | Looks great man, very nice turn around. Man that must have been some job, thats a lot of stuff to clean out. How did you manage to get away with xmt 1 and a green edge pad, the last time I tried that I marred the @#$$ out of my paint, what speed did you use and how much pressure? And were did you find the tire shine that cheap. Good review by the way. |

As the polish starts to clear, I lighten up my passes and speed up my movements. I start out and stay on #5. I start with about 15lbs. of pressure....just enough to bog the PC down some. Then I go to just letting the weight of the machine work for my faster passes.
I found the tire foam at the Dollar Store! My kids love that place. Now I do. |

I didn't dilute it since it came in it's own bottle. It was soapy. I'm thinking it can be easily diluted down to 4:1. I love the smell too. It's about half way gone. I'm gonna fill it up with water tonight to use and review tomorrow.
I shined the floor with the tire foam by the way. I spray it after I cleaned it and let sit for 20 minutes. I came back and wiped up the remaining liquid. Then I turned the heat and baked it in. No slime and mess! Just a slick finish. I did all the tires, wheel wells and interior with ONE can! |
