I decided my dads ranger needed a good winter prep as it never even had been waxed since he bought the truck in april. The interior needs to be cleaned but i was short on time. Being a pickup i know it get a little abused (not so much tho) so the process was quite simple and goes like this:
washed with autochem shampoo, wheelwells cleaned with APC
tires treated with simoniz tire shine (remember pickup truck and 2$ a can lol)
sonax cleaner wax on small orbital buffer (changed pad twice since they were darkened from the cleaning agent)
mothers FX wax spreaded with griots polisher on blue LC pad
followed by OPW and a final buff
plastic treated with autochem plastic and vinyl dressing (looks really much like autoglym rubber care)
the truck looks fantastic now, the metallic flakes in the paint sparkles a lot , doesn't have the plastic sealant look, a bit of wetness,darkness was added to the color ! best of all it took less than 2 hours and i was really fighting for space around the truck.
pictures are to follow. my camera was nowhere to be found in the car !
