I was finishing up the Saleen and T-Bird today and had an hour...well, an hour and a half! I had to wait for the customer to come since she wanted me to do her Towncar. So, I gave my truck a quick bath in Pinnacle's Bodywork Shampoo and stripped the tires down with some ZEP Citrus Degreaser. This is really good stuff. I cut it 4:1 and cannot tell any difference from full strength. Works hard but without harsh smell or chemicals. It will be replacing Purple Power in my regimen. Next, I used the Cyclo and EDGE Green Pads with XMT's 360 to clean up my truck's paint. This was not an attempt to remove all the swirls. My truck has them and always will. If I have hours to work on my own, I need to be cultivating more business! 360 cleaned up the surface and layed down a nice layer of "sealant" protection. Looked good. I could have stopped. One thing, I've never seen Souveran Paste on yellow! I broke it out and went to town. I love the look it gave. WET! I even gave the wheels a coating. So easy to use and remove. Last, the tires got some of Pinnacle's Black Onyx Tire Gel.

Here's some pics.....

Truck looks great. Wish one of these days I could figure out how to just wash my truck in less than and hour, not to mention all that you accomplished, that is just amazing.
 
Looks great Justin, it's about time you detailed that truck.

I know......it was looking shabby!

Here's a pic from yesterday when it rained. This is a coat of Final Gloss from over 6 weeks ago and it's been washed with NXT 4 times since!

Good stuff!

Actually, I don't let it get that dirty. The only thing is, I will use left over wash water from a detail to clean it fast. Like I said, it gets it's share of swirls and neglect. I guess not that bad for a work truck.

I did the interior too! Tried out Meguiar's new Interior Detailer Spray. Good stuff. Makes the interior look new and not slimy. Smell realllllly good too!

You're not talking about Quik Interior Detailer are ya?
 
That is one awesome work truck. I'm glad you keep it so nice. I've seen a few and by far, yours is the best. I seen a truck in Spartanburg SC (next town over from me) had Detail Express on the side. Yes it was a Ranger. The red was almost pink and you would not believe the rims, black dust all over them.
After you get 200K on her, another yellow Ranger or F-250 with PSD? :D Thanks for sharing.
 
I like the reflection you got form the yellow, just curious. When you polish your truck what do you do with the stickers? Do you remove them? Tape them?

I like the beading you still have and 6 months ago huh...very nice.

Thanks for sharing....I still can't believe how fast you are buddy.
 
looks like a brick of gold! haha

do you have another personal driving vehicle?
 
Yep. That's the look. Beautiful. I like the last side shot. Really shows the depth.
 
where did you source the zep citrus cleaner? I've been using purple power myself lately, but I don't like how harsh it smells. :(

Thanks,

Pete

I felt the same way lately about Purple Power. You can get the ZEP at Home Depot. It's really good stuff.
 
Souveran on a work truck... I love that thought!:p
