Tip: Frequent car care equals fast and easy car care...
(In this case a truck)

The last time I detailed Behemoth was the end of April, so for easy math we'll say May, it's December 22nd today and I washed, clayed and waxed Behemoth yesterday, so it's roughly been over 7 months since this truck has seen any kind of maintenance outside of normal washing.

Cleaning, claying and re-sealing the paint was fast and easy after 7 months of outside exposure to the elements, it would be even faster, and even easier if this second detailing session would have been performed a month or two earlier.

The Poli-Coat appears to be holding up well so we're sticking with it and re-applying it as our LSP.

The key point is that putting your car, or your customer's car, on a regular maintenance program makes cleaning and maintaining the exterior faster and easier than waiting so long that the finish degrades to the point where you need to use aggressive products like a compound to remove oxidation, swirls and scratches.


2004 Custom Kodiak Truck



This truck sits outside 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as such it's exposed to the harsh, Florida weather year around... lots of rain, lots of humidity and lots of sun...



This truck has a clear coat finish but topical staining still takes place...













Instead of washing this truck we wiped it down using the new DP Waterless Auto Wash Concentrate, it easily cleaned the truck up for the next step, claying...








The sides were still smooth so we only had to clay the horizontal surfaces...



Then I applied DP Poli-Coat Paint Sealant using a 6.5" Crimson Hydro-Tech Pad on the Porter Cable 7424XP on speed 5.0



A few hours later... finished...









The application of Poli-Coat did a great job of keeping the paint protected but nothing lasts forever, so replacing the sealant that's worn off with a fresh coat of Poli-Coat will help keep this truck looking bright and shiny and make the next wash and wax just as fast and easy.
