    93' Ford F150

    well i went over to a local farmers house to work on his wifes Expedition (full detail) and as i was out there i noticed he had a F-150 setting in his yard for sale so i mentioned cleaning it up for him so he agreed and away i went the paint was very dull w/ some oxidation
    Process:
    Advantages Very Cherry car wash
    Hi-Temp's Smooth Cut w/ orange pad and my new UDM, and XMT-180(grape)
    Before:




    fender after smooth cut



    all done


    he was so pleased he pulled the for sale sign off of it and is keeping it(i did the engine and interior also but didnt get to many quality pics

    Sweet job! Nice turnaround on that Ford! The before condition reminds me of my father-in-law's old Chevy 1500. Maybe he'll let me play around with it.
    Thanks for the pics, but need more AFTER pics!! LOL

    It's amazing what a little love will do to a vehicle, very nice turn around. I like the fender picture looks really good.

    Very nice detail there, thank you for sharing.

    It always makes me smile when a good detail makes an owner decide that they want to keep their vehicle.
    What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about???

    yes the most gratifying details for me are these kinds of jobs.....it was a farm truck he bought new in 93' and was going to get rid of it but after the detail he said it was like when he bought it new and couldnt bare to sell it......best compliment ever. single stage paint is fun

    Nice turnaround, I bet you added a 1000 buck to the price.
