F150 Extreme

TH0001 · May 18th, 2006, 04:33 PM

My fathers neighbor has an F-150 that was heavily oxidized and had calcium stains from hard water sprinklers. This truck was challanging for several reasons, 1) It had a CLUB on the steering wheel and I had to move it. 2)I only had a PC with me and I really could have used a rotary to cut through the grime.

Anyways, here are some befores...

This one is AFTER washing and claying (Went through 2 clay bars)

Another pic after washing with and clay

Here is an intresting photo, notice the two squares of clearity (the one on the left is 80 and the one with me is 83. Notice how my body fades away, the truck offers NO refelection)

Okay so there process was this.

1)Wash with NXT wash...
2)Clay with Megs aggressive clay
3)Wash with NXT wash again
4)Polish with 83, PC 8006
5)Wax with 2 coats of 21 synthetic sealent via hand
6)Insane shine on tires
7)Hyperdressing on wheel wells and all rubber and plastic trim
8)NXT window cleaner
9)Drink several beers

And the afters (sorry about the quality of the light and the angles)

And the reflection...

I guess I'll have to reload some of the pics, I have no idea why they turned out so small (too many beers?)

Big transformation, I can't belive there is paint under all that!

How did you turn it around in the driveway with the club on, that had to be fun!?!?

As for the photos you linked to the small thumbnail in your gallery. When you are in your gallery click on the small photo you want to post, when the larger photos opens right click and copy the link of the larger photo.... so yes to many beers! j'k

I bet the owner thought you took it to get a new paint job rather than just detailing it. Its simply amazing!
