Side Note:
The fender skirts were some type of composite. I tried DLux and it streaked and blotched. I had a hard time getting a smooth, even look.
I stripped off the DLux and (luckily) I had just enough CQ Finest in the bottle to coat the fender skirts. (Much Better, smoother, even look)

Another Note:
For a "Brand New" vehicle the B pillars were swirled up really bad. They polished up crystal clear and I coated them with CQuartz Finest.

Thanks for Looking...
 
Looks awesome!

Do you usually use dlux for wheels and plastics?
 
Super work Mike. :xyxthumbs:

Apart from being a sweet looking truck, What a great colour, I like it. I see these BIG trucks you guys have & although as sweet as they look, I sure don't envy you working on them. We only get little trucks down here.

Awesome post Mike, thanks for sharing. :props:

Nice work Mike. Looks great...some really nice gloss and reflection going on there!
 
Nice work! I love the raptors.

Do you post on the F-150 forum with the same screen name?
 
I did a Pro+ job on the same truck/color last month (super crew version). Brand new, the B pillars were a mess and the paint had surface scratches on every panel. The 3" and the iBrid are definitely handy with this one, with the various angles within each panel. Nice job, Mike, looks great.
