  • Detailed the Truck (Again): Lots of Pics

    Hello all,

    This is a follow up detail to the detail I did a couple weeks ago. (see Detailed the Truck Today for reference.)

    When I buffed it out a couple weeks ago, I didn't get all the swirls out and they were really bugging me, so I decided to buff it out again. Last time I did one pass with M80 and the same goes for this time. Even though Mike suggested M83 (Scratch -X vs. 83 vs. 80), I haven't had good luck with M83 and didn't want to deal with it today, so I went with M80 again. I went a lot slower this time and work with much smaller sections and changed pads more often.

    On to the Process(same as last time):
    Wash w/Gold Class
    Clay w/Smooth Surface
    1 Pass M80 w/PC on 5 and 8006 Pad
    1 Pass M21 w/PC on 3 and 9006 Pad
    1 Pass NXT Tech Wax w/PC on 3 and 9006 Pad

    Tires wear Hot Shine Trigger
    Rims/Chrome polished with NXT All Metal
    Trim, Wheel Wells and Running Board dressed w/Hyper Dressing 4:1

    Befores:









    During:
    After 1 Pass of M80 (same spot and light as the one above)


    Nice little reflection


    And the Afters:






    We have a swirl-free finish!






    And I couldn't post pics of the truck without a close-up of the rims:


    Thanks for looking and please comment!!

        Wow, white is a hard color to put shine on. I used to have a white car. Look like you did very well. !

                  Nevermind...It puts down Chevy's haha I kinda like Toyota's, as a matter of fact we used to be an all Toyota family, we had a Sienna and a T-100..long time ago

                  Thanks, I want to put a coat of #7 on and then see the results, but dont have any as of yet..

                  Thanks for all the compliments...look for another thread in about 5 minutes, the truck had something all over the front when I came home from dinner...not happy at all...
