2010 F-150 thorough scrub down

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

I was contacted to perform a cleanup and bug removal on this truck after many miles touring Europe. Upon first inspection it didn’t look to bad but after careful examination it turned out worse than I thought! Boy was I in for a doozy! 3.5 hours invested.

Wheels cleaned with Meguiar’s all Wheel & Tire Cleaner with Mothers wheel brush
Tires scrubbed with Meguiar’s all Wheel & Tire with Mothers tire brush
Wheel wells scrubbed with Meguiar’s APC and Mothers wheel well brush

Wash:

Pre-treated with Meguiar’s APC cut 10:1
Bugs removed with Sonax Bug Remover and Lake Country sponge
Wash with 2BM and Meguiar’s Hyper Wash and Meguiar’s wash media
Thorough rinse down to remove all soap residues
Cracks and crevices blown out with leaf blower
Remaining water dried with Green Cobra Ultimate Guzzler
Quick wax with Meguiar's D156 Synthetic Express

Miscellaneous:

Door sills with V07
Wheels with V07
Tires dressed with Meguiar’s All Season Tire Dressing
Pictures taken with Nikon D3200 and hooded 18-55mm lens

Great job! I'm impressed that it only took 3.5 hrs.......those trucks have a LOT of surface area. I'm curious on your thoughts about the bug remover combo that you used as it looks like it did a fantastic job. Did it leave any marring behind?

Thank you sir! No joke. There is a lot of real estate to look after.

I really like the Sonax Bug remover with the blue Lake Country sponge. I let it soak for a few minutes before agitation as well as after. That mess rinsed away clean.

I couldn't see much marring.

Owner was smart to have a pro handle this any lack of patience that leads to excessively hard scrubbing with the wrong material produces an end result far worse than the bug splattered mess delivered to you. Well done sir.
