Bill-V8V Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I debadged the polished the bed a couple weeks ago but the entire truck had really not been properly detailed since I bought it in January. Started under the hood, it wasn't in really bad shape considering the winter we had. Before After The wheels Before After There was some nasty stuff stuck to the paint, a good amount came off with the wash but I used an entire clay bar and spent 5 hours claying !!! Complete Not the same depth and reflection you'll get off of a darker color but BG and Americana makes White shine too Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Meh. J/K, it looks great! What was stuck to the paint that took 5 hours to clay off? BTW: This looks like a picture from a GM pamphlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heineken Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi Bill, Truck looks awesome! Where did you get the body side moldings? I want to put the same ones on my 2500HD crew cab but all I can find are the Denali ones. They cost a freaking fortune so I've been holding off.
