Hey guys, well they finally let me come home from work and I was finally able to detail something. Many of you may recognize this truck from a previous detail I posted, but I figured it was worth posting again. It hadn't been detailed in a few months, althought the owner has been trying to keep it up, unfortunately he had put some swirls in it and it had a far amount of waterspots, but overall I was impressed with the work the owner had been doing. Sorry no before pics. After about 8 hrs of work and a good sunburn, I think it came out pretty good. Here are the details.

Process:

Wash:
## Wash and Gloss/APC Mix presoak using pressure washer foam attachment. Hand washed with ## Wash and Gloss and Blue Cobra MF mitt. Dried with Cobra Guzzler and ## QD.

Clayed:
DP Universal Clay and DP Clay Lube.

Polished:
Menzerna 106 and Orange CCS pad with Flex on speed 4.

Wax/Sealed: Jetseal X1

Wheels,Tires, and Wheel Wells:
Dp Wheel Glaze and Megs. Hot Shine Tire Gel, and ## Blue Dressing.

Windows:
Hand Polished with DP Glass Polish Restorer and wiped down with ## Glass Cleaner.

Well that all for me, gotta get back to work, hopefully I'll have more details to do when I get back in next week.
 
Nice job and nice ride. What does that have for a motor?

Supercharged 5.4, basically the same motor in the older Lightings, this truck is just heavier, it sounds bad ass at an idle.
 
Looks Sweet! Great job. The finish looks like a pool of black.
 
That looks incredible! I bet those trees wreak havoc on the cars in your area

Yes they sure do, they were even giving me problems during the detail. He has a garage that will fit it in, but doesn't use it, the wife uses it.
 
I could tell from the wonderful little white fluffies all over it. Its a beautiful truck, though.

Tough to argue with his wife about garage space. Hopefully she uses the space to park a vehicle and not house pottery projects and christmas decorations :p
 
Great work on a really hot looking truck. The black paint looks like you could dive into it like a pool of water. Again, super job.

I'd say the Saleen is a little better all around.
It looks sexy as hell and you made the paint look like a pool of oil.
 
Yea this one has more horsepower, but it a lot heavier than a lighting, actually his son has a lighting and they raced once and he smoked his dad pretty good, still I would rather this than a lighting mainly cause of the size, alot more room inside, sounds alot better to.

Dude, that truck looks awesome! Mirror reflection! I really like they way JetSeal looks! but unfortunately it's durability is very poor...I don't even get 2 months out of it...I'm defenetely gonna try this new polycharged UPP...costs less, lasts longer, creates same awesome look...
