One of our sales managers has an F150 that he only uses for towing his boat, and heading to his blinds. His wife wanted to get it cleaned up as a christmas present. Hot dog.

As you can see, pretty rough. http://imageshack.us/a/img23/6606/uyyi.jpg

Had a few scratches here and there, mostly key marks around the door handles. Had a nice one from hitting a pylon at a boat ramp here in town

Unfortunately, it was a bit too deep to fully remove, some spots were down to the metal

Better perspective on how deep it was

Anyway, this is about the condition I was working with

One pass with an orange hybrid and 105 wasn't quite enough

Also, we heard you like f150's, so we put an f150 in your f150, so you can truck while you truck

Doesn't look like a hunting truck anymore.
Great job.
I did one 4 weeks ago, the paint looked awful but in the end it turned out sweet but wasn't easy, I think I know what you went through to get it this nice:)
