0 MrHot88 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Started working on the Ford F-150.King Ranch, I'm done with the leather seats, my gosh they were thirsty. Lol Still another two hours working on the interior then start on the outside, 4x4, so freaking high off the ground. Pics to come hopefully on Sunday.

0 IrishCurse Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think he got a steal my friend. I've heard one full correction cost that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Truckie Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 A ton of work!!! I am STILL not done MY 4door F250...... hopefully tomorrow..... still gotta do P/S doors and then wax roof, seal rims, dress tires, plastics, and do the inside.... weather hasn't helped and lifted so won't fit in garage..... Sun came out today and products dried too quick on paint tons of dust and pad wear....... .. but making progress I gotta get back to working out.... thats easier..... If a full correction is $1000 for a big truck..... It would be more cost effective to get it CAMO wrapped..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrHot88 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 You know, now that I worked on this truck I agree,cits so darn big, the interior took 5 hours alone. Started omit Friday night and will finish it up today then return it to him and take home his other truck, not as big but still very large. There were thousands of small scratches on the outside of the bed and tail gate, yes thousands. You see he has a dog that rides in the back on it when going hunting and the dog hangs over it, I got most of them out. The truck was faded, not much of a shine. Brillant Glaze on white. Wow, I was shocked to see what the BG did to it when I applied it, like OMG, look at this shine. Compound SHR FMP BG Next up MSS I spent more hours on the truck then I wanted being I'm only getting 500.00 for the job but no way I turn it in without an Adam's shine. After the next truck his friend wants metro work on his two Vettes, one being a 68' model. Hel'll be buying some Adams products to maintain the finish. I post some before and after pics, the before pics don't show what I saw thugh being its white. Kevin A ton of work!!!

0 IrishCurse Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've done 12 hour days on my own vehicles... That's complete detail with full 3 step correction. I keep mine quite clean so I can imagine the work required with a neglected vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Doug123 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Brother you are going to sleep after all that is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrHot88 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Lol. No kidding, I feel sore from the last one I did which was complete just yesterday, now I have this one. First I'll wash it using the two bucket method, wonder what I'll find under all that dirt, I'm scared. Lol It's sad to let such a nice truck go to crap, it's only been washed once in one year so you can imagine how dirty it is but more important the correction it will need, I'll post more pics as I go. Plan is, Two bucket wash using Dawn and a little APC Clay SSHR SHR FMP MSS BG Then a coat of wax to get the BG to hold up a little longer. After that I'll start with the interior Kevin Brother you are going to sleep after all that is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrHot88 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) OK, so washed it, twice being it was so dirty. Clay time:) Look what I picked up on the hood. Trashed!

0 MrHot88 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Have to say Adam's polishes works much better than anything I've ever used to go along with my rotary , doesn't dry up when working at 2500 RPM's. Cuts so fast which cuts my work time in half compared to any other machine. I'm done with the exterior already , tomorrow I'll start in the very dirty interior. I'm ordering a a Festool polisher this week, very nice machine per reviews, right now I'm still using my Dewalt which is on the heavy side, the Festool is about have the weight compared to more rotary buffers. I was able to work the SSHR for as long as I wanted and notvonce did it dry up, amazing. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WayneZito Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Kevin, if possible to explain, how much faster is the rotary compared to a flex ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrHot88 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 It wouldn't be fair for me to compare the two being I never used a Flex I'll say this though, the entire bed was scratched, both sides and in 45 minutes I had them removed, still had to polish more but the scratches were gone. I'm old school, all I know is my rotary and of course my PC. People talk about the Flex "walking on them", I don't have that problem but a rotary in the wrong hands will cause DAMAGE! Since Adams I must say I love my rotary even more, no more products drying on me, his you can work as long as you want without issues. Can't wait for his compound. Note: for awhile people left the rotary for other tools but are now returning back, IMHO you can't beat the work a rotary can do for you. saves your arms too being you don't add any pressure to the buffer.

0 MrHot88 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 OK, so many hours went into working on this truck, you saw the before pictures here but now some after. Ome thing I did do different was after SSHR, SHR, FMP, MSW I put down some BG before and after the MSW, wow did it make it pop. So slick, well here we go. Still not done but for the most part it is. Kevin This is the truck BTW This truck was just dirty, daily driver, for sure. I return it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
