Those truck keep workin no matter what they get put through

Nice turnaround VT. I love working on cars and trucks that look like that before all the hard work begins. I've gotten way more people talking about my abilities as a detailer by doing these types of jobs than I ever could have by working on an already clean and newer vehicle. The before/after is an incredible transformation on these type of jobs.

Nice work my friend!!

I turned this thing down for over a year. however, after the recent threads and posts concerning Megs #7, I knew that the poli-seal would be beneficial...adding the 845 will allow me to document its future condition on my OPS thread.

Thanks. I forgot to add that he does carpet extraction from a skid mounted unit during the cold months, so the truck will be parked for weeks at a time.

Just a couple of passes of OPS and one pass 845 on the lower part beneath the aluminum skin. Really was no use as the nicks, dents, scratches multiply here.

This will probably be the last polish that the hood will see. The paint is so thin that you can see the black primer seeping through the flakes.
We tag team details that he can't handle with his wash n wax service, been a while though.
