​​This truck has not been detailed for awhile the owner said as you can see lol.
He did not want to pay for a two or multi step process so i recommended a one step for him.
The results were pretty good for a 1 step and most customers aren't necessarily looking for perfect as it is there daily driver.
Posted below are a few during process and test spots i did. It almost looks like someone painted a square on his door when i was doing my test spots lol.
I also sanded the headlights as a bonus for him. He did not pay for that but i was feeling nice. Overall time spent: 15 hours 160$. Taking my time.

Process:
Meg's hyper wash/two bucket method
Clay entire vehicle
Griots boss g21 with orange pad/microfiber pads.
Correcting cream boss
Trims & Tires applied with megs foam dressing.
Wax: collnite 845

During: As you can see there are some rids but as i mention he did not want to pay accordingly. Also most customers just want shiny/improved which is understandable.

Also i guess you could say it ended up more than a 1 step since i added collnite on top of it, but thought it was quick to do so what the heck.

Appreciate the comments fly, i tend to lowball myself lol, feeling they will walk away but it is a cheaper area and i don't know if my cilents will want to pay much more ha.

looks great! However, no way in hell I'd work for $10 per hour. I'd rather sit in a chair and great people at Walmart for $12. :)
