The owner is getting pictures done for it on saturday for a calendar. Believe he said he won March for a performance truck website. So he wanted to get this thing looking good. Only have about 4 1/2 hours into it so far. He did not drop it off till late this afternoon. I will spend the whole day on it tomorrow, get a chemical on it tomorrow night, let it then sit overnight, then get 2 coats of wax on it before he picks it up saturday morning. Anyways here are just some shots I have so far. Will get more tomorrow and satuday. Then hopefully he will be able to add his from the photoshot on saturday when he gets those. '
He got one of my starter buffing packages, so the truck is getting correction up to about 90%. Comming out nicely. Last 10% are some scratches that would need to be wet sanded out.
Anyways....
Engine Before:
Engine After:
Some shots I could get of swirls in the paint...
After:
This one if you look just right of the light, you notice a haze line. That was where I tapped off for my test area, but could not get a good shot with the camera phone!
Then just some general afters. Not great shots, but you can see the paint has a nice glossy/wet look to it. Will look even better once a sealant and two coats of wax go on it.
UPDATE
UPDATE:
Well another 7 hours into it today...and everything is done up to two coats of wax, the chrome dressed, and tire shine on it in the morning.
Random After:
Then some shots of it before washing it again.
Interior Before:
Interior After (yes you really cant tell that big of a difference in the picture...but there is!)
THen some random good shots of afters that I was able to get...
Great reflection when the sun was coming up this morning...
Then the amount of water beading...and to think theres not any wax on it yet either!
