2004 F150

[budman3]

Hey everyone again. I figured that this site needs some life to it so don't mind me posting pictures of my details :lol: I did a Toyota Sequoia and a 4 door F150 back to back, totalling 8ish hours in one day. I was very tired after that. I don't have any pics of the Toyota or before of the F150 but I think the afters will do.
Process:
Wash
Clay
SSR2.5 (polishing pad PC)
PwC Blue (polishing pad PC)
UPP (Ultra Finishing pad PC)

Interior got Woolite combo for cleaning, Folex on spot stains and PBs Leather Stuff on the seats and Natural Look on the dash.



The lighting was in my favor for sure (it being about 6PM), but the truck looked really good. My old truck was the same color so I had the advantange of knowing how the UPP looked on it. Now only it I could have topped with Natty's.....

Beautiful work man! And keep the pics coming :D

What did you use on the tires? I really like the look of them.

Megs Hot Shine in the trigger bottle on the tires. They were cleaned with Simple Green... does anyone know of an alternative to this or something that cleans tires better? The tire dressing makes them look good but the tires were still brownish. Someone needs to make a tire specific cleaner (or is there one?). Thanks guys.

I use diluted Oil Eater (very nice APC from Costco) on tires. Mothers makes a rubber-specific cleaner and there are others out there too, but I bet that most of them are just diluted APC's. Just remember--different tires can have very different results, and it may be that for chemical reasons those tires are supposed to stay brown. Some don't react well to dressings either (like the Goodyears on the Grand Cherokee I posted up here a week ago).
