  • 1986 F150 XL Work/Play Truck

    I had nothing to do Wednesday afternoon, and was tired of looking at the faded paint begging to be cleaned. There was no sun out, which made it perfect weather to work in. I got out the PC and Meguiar's #83 and went to work.

    Used Simple Green during the wash to get rid of the oxidation that had accumulated since I had clayed it awhile back.

    Did 2 passes of #83
    Some before and during...






    Finishing up...





    After #83 and a coat of Meguiar's Color X



    After the pics, I applied Hot Shine Tire Spray to the tires. Looks much, much better IMO for 21 yr old paint.


    On a side note, since I haven't been around for awhile and for those that remember it, here is an updated picture of the Mustang:

      You sure brought life back to your truck's paint!! Terrific job!! Now that your truck looks so nice, I'm sure you won't be needing that black Roush stage 2 Mustang anymore, so ... I'd be happy to take that off of your hands for you. (hehe) But seriously, that is one fantastic car you have there!

          Thanks all!

          prokill00- It has Spintech mufflers and is Diablosport tuned. The wheels are new 03/04 Black Cobra's and the tire sizes are 175/40/17 up front and 315/35/17 in the rear. That is about it right now. Not a lot of mod money with the payments and school and all of my other bills right now, but I am working on that.
