Its hard to get white real glossy, or so they say.

I think you did a great job, espicially without a machine. What was your process?
 
though i'm not a fan of raised trucks, you did a great job on bringing that white out. if you don't own a DA.. invest in one, it will be one of the best things you've ever spent your $'s on...

Thanks! ill be buying a DA one of these days
 
Great job-great truck! Like others have said, you did a nice job bringing the white out. I love white when it's glossy, more so than other colors really.

Are those Baja's or MT's? The color is so rich in the pics but I can't tell what they're wrapped with either?
 
looks great!
Thanks man!

Hey Isaac,

Fantastic job!! Your truck will be your biggest investment towards a detailing lifestyle. People will see your extremely clean truck and ask how much you'll charge for their vehicle. Your on the right track, oh ya coats of wax are like women, you can never have enough!! Haha "Just kidding honey" Great job again Isaac.

:awman:
 
It's nice to see other truck owners spending time making their rides look great. White is one of those colors most don't appreciate because it doesn't pop like metallics or iridescent paints but with a nice sealant and wax it really glows!

Great work :props:
 
thanks for all the great comments guys! im really proud of my work! im almost scared to even drive it! i keep walking outside like every 10 min. just took look at it lol. it will be a while before this truck ever see's dirt again!
