I must say I was a bit nervous once I saw this thing coming down my street! I had never detailed anything of this size EVER! And it was my second truck since Ive started. I just had to come up with a game plan and go at it section by section, including climbing on top of the 37" tires and eventually I got it all done and it came out great! I think I got the best correction on this truck than I have on any other vehicle so far, it came out literally FLAWLESS! It helps that it was in excellent shape minus all the years of swirling/hazing that comes with a black vehicle that hasn't been up kept..ENJOY!

Outstanding work. What a job that must have been.

How did you work in the the M105 and SIP? Was the SIP not doing enough correction?
 
Thanks! I started with SIP. But I noticed there were still a few stary swirls and some water etching throughout the truck, so I just thought to give M105 a shot and it worked like a charm on the PFW pad, removed everything and QUICKLY! However, it did leave a lot of marring and hazing, so I followed it up with SIP/Orange and then 106fa/white and it came out beautiful!
 
Now thats true detailing......complete turn around and good choices on products.........How long did it take to complete? How many hours invested......Great job !!!

Thanks! I spent about 18 hours on this one, I had it for several days so I took my time and made sure it was right! ;)
 
Awesome detail job on that big truck! I agree....awesome turnaround and love those 50/50 shots.
