A friend of a friend wanted me to detail the outside of his f250.
Awesome truck but needed alot of work correcting the outside as it was left from the body shop a mess. The truck was just painted a couple months ago and he even went back to get it re-sanded and buffed.
To say the least he was not very happy lol, glad i was able to help him though and he is now a happy customer/friend.

Process:
Wash: Meg's hyper wash/ wheels two bucket method
Clayed not much but some areas
G21 With M-105 with boss microfiber pads
Surprisingly it finished very well and i only did that
Topped with Collnite 845.
Trim was topped with some spare dressing i had around forgot the brand.

Here are a few pictures as i did not get much but thought you guys might enjoy.
Total time spent was 14 hours. 200$ Profit outside only.





Here it is after the few passes i did with the combo listed up above. Different panel but you get the idea. I would've loved to sand it but he just simply wanted to get the buffer trails/holograms out of the truck.



And here are the finish shots! Next time i will try to do better with the before and afters as i work full time and part time detail.
You can see my little S10 on the side of this monster!! And pops bel air in the garage.







 
very nice work...awesome looking truck

Thx! It was a lot of fun.

Very nice work

Thanks!

I'd say you transformed that pretty well :)

Thanks surprising a good transformation for a truck that just got painted.

Nicely done!

That's a lot of real estate to polish out!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike. She sure was a lot of paint to correct lol especially the hood and roof were really hard.
 
He should send the bill to the paint shop. Along with a how to polish using the rotary DVD.
