dagen Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I detailed a truck yesterday that's midnight blue. It's an 09 had a few decent swirls throughout rough to the touch and been thrue a few auto car washes that were NOT touchless. I started with Dawn to strip it down followed by detail spray across the entire thing. Next step was clay bar , full polishing, and then the Buttery Wax. I am pretty amazed with the result's and will let you guy's be the judges. Sorry for the phone pic's as i don't yet have a high res camera.

JBlack151 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nice reflection shots. You detailed that thing so hard your feet fell off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagen Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 5 hrs! Nor did i hit the inner fender wells to hard because the truck owner live's on a dirt road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egott_91 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Looks good! On a side note: The detail spray wipe down after the wash was probably a waste of your time and product. You could've left the water on the truck and went straight to claying since you were polishing anyways. But it's your personal preference and I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't do in your process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagen Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks for telling me that. The only reason i did that was because i was getting some premature drying and water spot's. But that's good to know as i wont waste my time with it unless that situation happen's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be afraid to rely on the water left from rinsing (if that's what you're saying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be afraid to rely on the water left from rinsing (if that's what you're saying). You should definitely use DS while claying! What I was saying was to not do the detail spray whipe down after rinsing the soap off. As a matter of fact, I said don't even worry about drying since he was going directly to clay then polish. But you would still need the DS as the lubricant while claying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
