Beto, please start a new thread so that we can continue this discussion, rather than try and have two discussions in this thread. You're new thread should be in the Detailing 101 Forum.

Thanks for understanding.

You're looking at the "afters" Ryan, you guys just don't fully know how we got there.

New toys? You're making me excited!! I wouldn't consider chemicals to be "toys" so I'm speculating there's some type of power tool you're referring to!!

Good Lord, why is time going so slow?!! How long is this going to take?!!!!!

Thanks for the great write-up, Mike.
We always like working on stuff for gals like Meredith.

While the truck is not perfectly leveled, it looks very nice!
It is super-tough to secure Jason for more than a day, and the same goes for me.
Perhaps we will revisit the truck in another year once it has seen some road-duty.
I have a few areas I would like to fine-tune (a bit of wave remains here and there that does not match from panel to panel, as they were done separately and at different times).

Our goal with the sand and polish on this truck was never to get it LASER leveled, but it is a pretty nice job. We were able to remove the shrinkage and strange etching marks (we think the damage came from water as it filtered through an old roof and was allowed to set upon the tonneau cover until it evaporated).

Main thing is, we were able to product test on it twice, Meredith and Jesse are happy to have the truck DONE, and we all get to see the smile on Meredith's face for finally getting the truck to SEMA !!!!

And I thought my truck looked good after Kevin and Jason worked their magic the first time. I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it looks now! Mike, Kevin and Jason... you guys are AMAZING. Looking forward to reading the other installments of the write up. Maybe we can get more flattering photos of me at SEMA or something? Not a fan of the 2 AM picture.

Since I can't answer questions about the cut & buff process, if anyone has questions about any other aspect of the truck, feel free to PM me.

Now where is my Meguiar's shirt.....
