ford ranger detail

my wifes best friend has had this ranger for 2 years and has never even washed it the previous owner may not have either.so i finally talked her in to letting me detail it. the funny thing is we all thought it was a faded black truck after the detail it was found to be dark blue w/ flake

process:
washed w/ advantage's very cherry
hi-temp power cut w/ orange pad
hi-temp smooth cut w/ orange pad
meg's polish
2 coats of johnson's bahama pearl wax
interior
apc
lil' green
hi-temp's leather conditioner (works great on dash boards and door panels)

before:




after:





(the arm rest was done and dry, started on the seats they came out as well no after shot)

It's pretty bad when you can't even tell what color it was. I hope after your detail they wash it once in a while.

Wow what a difference The gloss is brought back to life, as well as the reflections. The wheels/tires and interior is looking awesome too.

Very nice turn around on that truck, the interior along with the exterior sure needed some work.

The end results are quite nice...I agree with Gary not being able to tell it's true colour is not a good sign hahahaha

Thank you for sharing.
