Let’s take a black truck to the car wash!!! Sounds fun!!

**prin** · 01-30-2019, 10:46 PM

So this truck was a recommendation from another client. The owner had taken the “FX-4” stickers off of the bed and it left markings that needed to be leveled out. So, the client assured me that it will be washed before I got there. Once I got there, I could tell what he had done. It had been taken through an automatic car wash!!!! I had to rewash it of course. Since I was only focusing on the paint, it didn’t take me too long. Once I shined my lights on the paint, I knew that I was in for a long time. So here we go!!

The paint was clayed with my clay mitt. I then used Meguiars m105 to level the paint. Some of body took more time than the others. This is due to the corners were scratched really bad from the brushes at the carwash. I then used 3D ONE for more leveling and polishing. The paint was then sealed with McKee’s paint sealant. Needles to say, he couldn’t believe the results!!!

Nice!

Good to see M105 in action again.

I'm toying with the idea of picking up a bottle and seeing how it works if I short cycle a higher volume of liquid than I used to.

Trouble is, owners like that, that let their vehicle get to the point that it was....don't appreciate all your work that went into it, nor value it. In no time the truck will be right back to the shape it was in before. Those owners simply don't think the same way we do.

Some do not know any better. I was in same boat a lotta years ago but now I cringe at the thought of the swirl o matic. We can only try and educate them and hope it sticks. It is a nice new truck. Hope he see’s the light & reflection and continues allowing you to keep it that way.

Ugh, I read Auto car wash and cringed.

Cringed even harder when I saw it was a black Platinum!

Good God, that's a 60k truck. SMH

Awesome save, bud.

Thanks guys! Yeah, this guy really don't care. When he told me that he had just washed it, I could still see grass hanging from the bumper. I then asked him if he hunts. He told me that he loves too. Then he says that he had been hunting the day before actually. I put two and two together and I now no that it was covered in mud. Then he takes it to the car wash. CRAZY!!!!!
