Nice job on that big truck, it looks great!!!

What polisher did you use?

[Eldorado2k]

Looks like the Fast Correcting Cream did a heck of job knocking out those defects.
What did you use on the tires? [as far as tire shine/dressing]
Did you find the Mothers Chrome Polish to make a difference on the wheels? [I've never had much luck with it]
It looks like the black running boards could use some more help..

Nice turnaround.

I usually dress and coat running boards as usual but not any more.my lawyer client sued a local carwash ere in town.A lady had slipped off her running board due to some sort of slippery dressing and broke her femur bone.So now I just clean them and that's it not worth the risk.

I use TW Endura Trim Coat on running boards. Not only does it get the job done...



But it's completely safe too, as it leaves no slickness behind. It's so safe I even use it on my own pedals.

Yeah, I'm usually an FG400 kinda guy but the owner is a co-worker/friend who didn't want (nor pay for) perfection but wanted the swirls knocked down, and Fast Correcting Cream seems to finish down just a bit better than FG400 with MF Cutting pads...

I was surprised as well with Mother Chrome polish, its been on my shelf for years and I don't typically use it but I figured Id dab some on a mini ball and it worked well .....chrome was peeling from inside the barrels to back/bottom of spokes so didn't want to go to crazy

For tires I did a once pass spray with Griots Black Shine then dry wipe with mf towel

Like others have said I don't go to crazy on the steps they were pretty beat up so cleaned them with Meg APC and 3" brush on my PC, then apply a light coat of the WG Trim sealant, followed by dry buff with mf towel ....in my experience if there's too much product they become slick and they attract dust and dirt easily so as soon as you step on them it leaves footprints.

Thanks....I do, usually because it doesn't take to much time to do, my typical customer doesn't expect nor think about the engine bay so when they pick-up their cars and I pop the hood you get the "wow looks like new" ......even though I tell them I'm going to do it prior to the job...lol
