Chevy Truck, interior/exterior detail, D300/D301 MF: Rasky's Auto Detailing

[RaskyR1]

Chevy Truck, interior/exterior detail, D300/D301 MF



This truck belongs to the brother of one of my friends, both are avid hunters and their vehicles sit out side 24/7. I detailed my friends truck early this summer and his brother booked his truck shortly after. Overall condition was not too bad, and was what I expect from most trucks in MN. The job was booked for an interior detail and a 1-step correction...great opportunity to use the full MF system! Normally the D300/D301 combo would be a 2-step correction, but since the D301 works so effortlessly I really don't mind doing it for free as it doesn't take much longer than using a dedicated wax/sealant, yet it offers more correction for my client.

Process:

Wash - Foamed bath followed by 2BM wash using CGCW
Wheels - Meguiar's Wheel Brightener
Tires - Cleaned with Meguiar's D103, dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing
Wheel Wells - Cleaned with Meguiar's D103, dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing
Clay - Clay Magic & ONR for lube
Tree sap - IPA
Paint correction - Meguiar's MF system D300/D301 on GG6 DA
Glass - Meguiar's D120
Plastic Trim - Meguiars Ultimate Protectant
Step bars - Polished with Meguiar's Aluminum Polish via GG6 DA and PFW pad
Chrome - Mothers Chrome polish
Head/tail lights - D300 MF followed by PlastX foam LC on the GG6 DA
Carpets - Pre-treat with Bio-clean, scrubbed with hand brush and DA attachment, extracted with LGM and followed with Shop Vac.
Leather - Cleaned with OPC followed by Leatherique system
Vinyl - Cleaned with OPC and dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant
Dash/radio/climate controls - 1Z Premium
Door jambs - OPC & various brushes
Weather stripping - 303 Aerospace Protectant


Before pics

Lots of bugs on the front....OPC loosened them up nicely.

Crusty salt deposits

On these trucks I'll pop up the step plates as a lot of dirt tends to gets under them

Fine tree sap all over the truck as well as a few globs too...sorry for the blurry pics

Paint was pretty swirled up and the 50/50 shots don't to a vary good job, but light colors suck for capturing this.

Pretty sweet Rasky! I like the PFW idea for metal polishing, think I'll pick one up and try it out. Truck turned out awesome!

Very fine work there. Have a friend in Shakopee.

Thank you.

I have several packages to choose from based on an estimated hourly rate of $60/hr. They are estimated on the lower end however and I almost always spend more time on cars them I'm charging for. I only do this on the side and as a hobby...it's not all about the money for me....if this was my full time job I'd simply charge by the hour at $60/hr.

This job was about 12-14hrs.

Thanks Richard! It sure beat polishing them by hand!

Thanks! You'll have to stop by if you're ever in the area then.

I can't give away all my secrets.

Thanks John! I use D300 and the cutting pads for pretty much every job, but this was my first real opportunity to use D301 on a clients car. rops:

Nice job on the truck. I recently did a Chevy Avalanche. The only problem I had was finding a product to restore the rubber Tonneau Covers . Whats the best product for that?

 

[Showroom Shine]

Here's the Avalanche. Souveran Paste was used on this Baby!

Nice looking Avalanche!

As far as the tonneau covers go, what product is best will be very subjective, but I really like Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant. It gives it a nice natural look and feel without the oily mess. Durability is pretty good too. rops:
