2010 F-150 thorough scrub down

Like always MIKE, fantastic job my friend:)

Great job! I'm impressed that it only took 3.5 hrs.......those trucks have a LOT of surface area. I'm curious on your thoughts about the bug remover combo that you used as it looks like it did a fantastic job. Did it leave any marring behind?

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Like always MIKE, fantastic job my friend:)

Thanks Buddy!!!

Thank you sir! No joke. There is a lot of real estate to look after.

I really like the Sonax Bug remover with the blue Lake Country sponge. I let it soak for a few minutes before agitation as well as after. That mess rinsed away clean.

I couldn't see much marring.

Nice turnaround buddy. Thanks for posting and sharing. No interior work?

Impressive what you achieved in such simple and fast intervention. This only shows how good a detailer you are, competent compiling of everything needed for a top quality result. Congratulations!

Thanks for sharing,

Keep doing the awesome work.

Kind Regards.

Owner was smart to have a pro handle this any lack of patience that leads to excessively hard scrubbing with the wrong material produces an end result far worse than the bug splattered mess delivered to you. Well done sir.
