This truck was sold to the owner's father and he needed to get it cleaned before pick up. He just wanted the interior vaccumed so no shots. Bet you can tell why he didn't want to touch the outside!
Here's the process
Washed with Meguiar's NXT and 1 cup of Simple Green
(Used EDGE Yellow ShMitt)
Optimum's Poli-Seal
(Used EDGE2K Green Med. Cut Pad at #5 PC setting)
Went with the PC on this one. I'm gonna wait till my 8" pads get here before anymore rotary use. I feel that I might have to retrain myself again. This was just the plain Poli Seal. Still cut and cleaned very well. Gave a nice reflective, wet finish to white.
DP's Final Gloss Booster
(Srayed onto surface. Wiped away with Micro-Fiber towel.)
I wanted to add a little depth to the white and try out another new product. Very simple to use with no streaking. Smelled rather nice too. It did at a little more depth and shine. This will be a nice booster to Max Wax and other last step finishes.
Other Products Used.....
Simple Green Degreaser
(Mixed 1:1. Used on wheels, tires, wells, and front clip.)
I like this stuff alot. Cleans well and with not a harsh smell. Smells good actually!
Armor All Tire Foam
(Used on tires as a pretreatment. Used on wells to finish them.)
DP's High Gloss Tire Gel
(Applied with an Eagle One Tire applicator)
I wanted to try my new gel out while using Armor All foam as a cleaner/base. It did allow the gel to go on more evenly and with less product. We will see about the durability.
Befores......
