So just got done with the F-150.

Quick wash using Meguairs Gold class, then got out the PC. This is where my method strayed from conventional thinking. I grabbed one of my Meg's yellow foam pads and the Plastix. Went over the entire body of the truck using the PC and Plastix (worked great btw). buffed it off by hand and moved to the interior, removed the seats etc to really get everything cleaned out and hosed down the interior.

Finished off with some Meg's UQD, back to black and some Turtle Wax Finish 2001.









A couple befores (ignore some of the background mess, we have a few projects going on)

I'd say the customer is happy and that's all that really matters, right?

Hey Dave,

When you pulled out the PC buffer and Meg's yellow foam pads then went over the entire body with Plastix I thought you had a meltdown! ....Until I took a close look at the 2007 F-150!!

You got me!! :props: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

He loves his truck! I started him early.

Little kids like shiny, though I'm still partial to shiny tires also:)

I would love to have a little kid to get the tires. They are much closer to the ground than me.

Good deal raising him to appreciate vehicles. People don't understand how nice cars will stay if you just take care of them.
