    Mirror Detailing - Ford Ranger Reconditioning

    Did this truck for a member on two other forums I am on. He was planning on putting it up for sale and as the thing had not been cared for, since really who knows when, he wanted to get it looked in good shape again. Took me quite awhile as this truck was in pretty bad shape. But after 8 hours straight it was finally done.

    Process:

    Wash -
    TBM w/ CG MF Wash Mitt
    Foamed w/ Foam Gun w/ CG Wash'n'Gloss
    Roof clayed w/ Megs Red Clay w/ Foam Hyper Wash as lube.
    Body clayed w/ Pinn. Ultra Poly Clay w/ same as above.
    Rims covered w/ Diablo and aggitated to let dwell.

    Paint-
    GG DA w/ LC Orange w/ M86
    GG DA w/ LC White w/ M205
    BFWD w/ LC Red Hand Pad

    Interior-
    Pretreated w/ Meguiars APC Plus
    Extracted w/ Matrix Clean Smell and Meguiars APC Plus Mixture
    Door Panels and Center console cleaned w/ APC Plus
    Dash Cleaned w/ 1Z Cockpit

    Windows -
    Stoners w/ Rainx

    Rims/Tires-
    Adam's Metal Polish
    Hyper Dressing 3:1

    I would say you swapped trucks but since you posted before and after photos it's quite a transformation.

    Nice Work!!

    Looks like a freshly dipped candy apple. Are the carpet and interior corners just stained or was it just a quick wipe down? No offense but it seems like a few nooks and crannies were missed.
