Re: F250 Detail
I would say that is some of worst spotting I've seen as well.
Good job though for what you did, and glad to hear the customer was happy.

Re: F250 Detail
You mentioned that you weren't really happy with the end results. I also find that when working on these huge trucks that I am not always happy with the end results. The problem is that guys buy these huge trucks and absolutely trash them and they want them detailed in 1 day.
I've found that these really big trucks, especially lifted trucks are a 2 day job. But, I can't seem to ever get these guys to commit to that kind of time or money (probably 400 plus for a 2 day job). A good solid full detail on a truck that size could easily take 12 to 16 hours, but almost nobody will pay for it, so compromises have to be made. I hate compromises, but you have to give the customer what he or she wants in the time that he wants it in. This usually leaves the customer happy but me wishing I could have done a little more and made more money.

Yes, this spotting was terrible. The whole passenger side was literally white. Thank you sir!

It's been bothering me all week since completing it. As I mentioned, the truck sits for periods at a time. Anytime i detail or correct a vehicle I always ensure to educate the owner on how to properly care for their car. His neighbor (my regular) went out and spent (let me put a nice package together for him) a good amount to properly care for his C6 z06 and it still looks as flawless as it did right after I corrected it.
I'm going back this weekend to care for his wifes Tahoe and I'm going to try and talk him into letting me work on it some more and hitting it with at least some 3000 grit. We will see.

Re: F250 Detail
I like the 3000 grit option with a 105/205 follow up.
Any chance some DG755 could have done some good?
Going to be trying 755 this weekend on somebody's car that said they had bad sprinkler spots. Hope it's not that bad.
Oh yeah....the inspection step...good one and great effort.

No, it was not removed. The tighter areas were hit with a Griots 3" polisher, and the rest (only a few small areas) were hit by hand and a foam two sided polishing oval.
