Well, after a few days of bad weather, we finally got some temps that were ing the 50's. This, along with sunshine, got my phone to ringing almost constantly! With a full day booked yesterday (Thursday), I stopped taking appointments with 6 to do. A couple of wash and waxes and few washes. In all a busy day. As you can see in the pics, everyone drives big toys here!

10:00AM

I arrive at a local real estate agency that does a lot of business with me. The owners are a husband and wife team. He recently purchased a F-250 Crew Cab "King Ranch" and she drives a black Land Rover LSE that most of you have seen before. She left out before I could snap any pics of her's. It was just a wash/ Vac.

Here's the F-250 Before:

I washed it. Boy did I have to wash it! Caked on mud and tons of water spots. All he wanted was just a one-step polish/seal on the outside so out came Poorboy's Polish with Sealant. I slapped on an EDGE Yellow Cutting pad and went to work. This chemical and pad combo leaves no marring and removed all of the water spots! Try take a look at the tailpipe too. It was polished with the same process as the paint. Nothing special on the interior other than a wipe down and vac.

After.....

Did a Bug too. You all have seen this one a few times. Not very dirty at all. It was just time for it's paint cleaning/protection. Gave it a bath and cleaned the top with 303 Covertible Top Cleaner and then protected it with 303's Top Protection. Paint got PB's PwS.

Here it is......

WOW! great job. I can't believe there was no marring left after using the Yellow pad with P&S.

This is because there is no abrasives in the PB's PwS. It lubricating and cleaning while the pad is cutting some. I'm not removing a ton of swirls like this but it did remove some and waterspots. That's all I needed. Let a super slick finish and nice depth.
 
your one brave man justin just doing my own truck is enough for me to call it a day
 
6 cars in a day sounds like a bussy day.

Great work as always Justin
 
Looks like the PB pws is working well for you, I just got some in and can't wait to use it. Would it do okay with a LC orange pad w/ pc or do I need to order a yellow? Mike...
 
Looking good, but I have to say that seat color looks awful in the F250 with the rest of the color.

It should be fine. It doesn't take alot to get this stuff to work either.

Hard to tell from the pics but it actually looks really good, my uncles King Ranch is the same, the leather itself is darker brown looking leather called Castrano from the actual "King Ranch". It actually looks really nice and is excellent quality leather, most high end luxury cars don't have leather as nice as it, its real, not "pleather" or variations of leather lol. Even the logo is the same they use to brand the actual cattle, pretty cool. He also uses the product Ford recomends and King Ranch does for their own leather stuff, you can't just use any conditoner, a lot of people have had issues with staining and other problems using various products, believe it or not I was told Duragloss makes the specific conditioner for them that Ford/King Ranch says to use.

Nice job Justine!

as always good work justin!!! i tried polishing my hood, fenders, and front bumper for the first time 2 weekends ago... i was exhausted. i dont see how you do it
 
yea the king rance looks nice inside actually and has a very distinct smell but i dont care to work on the seats because they can be damaged very easily!
pws is on my list looks wonderful
 
I use Ford's King Ranch Conditioner. This way the warranty isn't voided. I do a lot of King Ranchs.......6 are on my schedule. I don't care for them myself. Seems to be a niche here that likes them. Way to easy to damage for me and my family!

Get PWS. You all will not be upset at the least!!!
 
Very nice work.
Can't wait until Detail Fest to see how you do this in a short period of time.
I will be bringing a rental :D
 
I've had the opportunity to try PwS on a friends Tahoe. I was pleased with the results. I used it with a LC Orange pad. It did a decent job at removing some light scratches. It did do a nice overall job of cleaning up the paint.
I would have thought using a yellow cutting pad would have left some marring, do to the abrasiveness of the pad.
 
Wow A variety of Cars in one day! nice work!!! =)
 
Looks very nice as always. Who is that guy we keep seeing in all the reflections:confused: :)
