Thumbs up Wash and Wax - 02 F-150 Supercrew Red - EHUTH1

Man if I could sum up the experience I had to day in two words it would be "Time Saver"

I have to admit the new foam gun (A MUST HAVE) from Justin "Clean 4 U" is truly a mobile detailers pride and joy!! I picked mine up in person from Justin yesterday. It was my first time meeting him in person, and he is truly a professional in all aspects of his trade. Thanks again for taking time to meet me!

Lets start this detail right!! I had some of Justin's new mix of foam but I used it in a experiment on a Saturn, so this wash is with 2 cap fulls of DG901 mixed with 30oz of water.
  • Craftsmen Clean-n-Carry with 50ft of hose
  • (Clean4U) Foam Gun (Lance) with 32oz bottle
  • Turbo Tip for rinsing





Befores






Let er' rip !!






This was just way to much fun. I had a few neighbors just staring like "what the hay?"

Ok after the the foam soaked for 5 minutes, it was going to be time to see if the DG would take care of the Tree Sap and dirt without me having to breakout the scmitt and use any agitation!! I'm here to say this was looking G uuuu D !! I sprayed the truck off with the turbo nozzle and this thing is crazy powerful!! Make sure you stand back away from the vehicle and be sure to turn the pressure washer down. I'm use to the long lance on a regular trigger gun, so I got surprised a few times went I wouldn't be thinking and reach in front of the turbo nozzle "OUCH"!!! It felt like 4 paintballs hitting me in the hand.... NOTE: Get use to the short trigger gun

5 Minutes After Foam Fun


Next Step was to dry the truck down and I did this with some new stuff I've been trying. It quickly breaks the water and makes it move faster to speed up the drying. If you notice my towel, it's spotless (NO DIRT!!!) I couldn't believe it, but I had to stay focused and finish this thing up



After deciding what to with this truck after I realized I just saved 15min on the job. I took a quick break

I used a new degreaser "The Brown Stuff" on the wheels, wells, and tires that too is simply amazing and I don't have to touch to clean.

Next it was time clay some trouble spots with megs smooth clay kit and then lay down some XMT360 via Orange CCS Pad and finalize things with Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax since it was red and everyone knows Pinnacle + Red = Amazing. Here are some problems I had to face in the beginning... Since this was just a wash and wax, I didn't get all the bugs out, but it turned out better than I predicted.





Afters



.: FINAL INSPECTION :.








This was about 2 Hour marathon just to see if I could save time and still prove positive results in paying attention to detail. I hope everyone enjoys this and gets their chance in owning a PW foam gun.

Wow, XMT360 got rid of all those swirls. Truck looks great. That red is dripping wet.

That is the craziest foam I've ever seen! Like a SNOWSTORM blew over that car!

And what is "The Brown Stuff" you were talking about? And where did you get that blue towel from?

I'm really impressed.

Just so I'm not fooling myself, you didn't "hand wash" the truck at all???? You just used the foam gun, let sit, rinsed, then dried???

If so, that's incredible!

Overall, the truck looks amazing! Nice work!
