This will be the 14th referral from a single person. You might remember the H2 truck that I did that had 26's on it. Well, this is one of his close friends. Him and his dad own a larger truck repair center. They mainly focus on larger rigs and RV's so I'm hoping for even more business. Then again, this family owns 15 vehicles and boats so I'm expecting more business!
This H2 is in good condition. He did hit a cardboard box on the interstate which transferred some clear coat scraping. He doesn't a lot of correcting since he is probably going to sell it in about a month or so. This gave me a good chance to try out Pinnnacle's XMT 360 CCS.
Here's the full process.......
Wheels, Tires, and Wells.......
(Purple Power Degreaser and DP's Gel Wheel Cleaner)
I sprayed the wheels first with the Gel and worked it in with a small paint brush. I simply wanted to be careful with 8k in rims and tires! The tires and wells got a coating of Purple Power and then blasted with my pressure washer. The wells then received and coating of Armor All tire foam. The tires got a layer of Pinnacle's Black Onyx Tire Gel. Lastly, the wheels got a coating of DP's Wheel Glaze.
Wash Cycle.......
(NXT Car Wash and Regular Wash ShMitt)
I presoaked the grill, windshield, and mirrors with DP's Exterior Cleaner. Here's why.......

After rinsing it down, I simply gave it a good bath from top to bottom.
Paint Correction and Protection

Yep, all in one step here. 360 is XMT's call to Poli-Seal and PwS. This product has abrasive much like Poli-Seal but without the gumming up. It cleaned and did a lot of correction. Here are some before and afters of the correction....

It finished down till it's almost invisible. Removal is easy and with no dusting. The surface is slick and smooth with depth and gloss. The only thing to be seen is durability. For now though, a very well thought out all-in-one.
Interior.....
(Pinnacle's Leather & Vinyl Conditioner, Vinyl & Rubber Protectant, and Diamondite's Glass Cleaner.)
The interior was not bad at all. Simply just a good vacuuming and cleaning.
Befores......
