Had a go at an old 93 F150. Must have done a good job because people were stopping to look at it!

Truck before detailing:

I couldnt believe the difference in color when I was done!

Truck after detailing (QD,claybar,polish and wax, dress exterior black and polish chrome) Some contrast as it was cloudy and about to rain in the second pic outside.

Fixed scratches behind handle:

Major scratch on rear left, could not fix the touchup paint (customer's handiwork) but made the upper scratch look a lot
better. Old paint, was afraid to get too aggressive.

comments and suggestions always welcome!

Tomorrow I do an Astin Martin!
 
Nice work! Looks like you did the best that is possible on that big scratch, is it mostly removed or mostly hidden/filled? Seeing vehicles like that on the road is my favorite... old, non-show cars that are obviously well polished.
 
According to the owner, he doesn't think this truck has ever been polished or waxed before! The scratch was mostly removed with Meg's ScratchX, followed by M82 SwirlX, then Dodojuice diamond white.

The whole process actually changed the overall color of the truck.
 
Nice work on that truck, and taking care of that huge scratch. I enjoy looking at detailing jobs on trucks.....not enough trucks done.
As you can see, I love trucks. :-)
