I got my truck professionally detailed *pics*

I just had some extra cash and didnt feel like waxing and buffing the scratches out for hours so I hired the pros to do it. They did a good job in my opinion. My truck was really dirty and last time offroad I had some real bad pinstriping from trees but they all came out.

Here's pic of before and after

Example of the desert pinstriping

What did they do for the engine bay...just hope I don't read another thread from you in a few days talking about how he truck randomly shuts off. Seems to be a common problem for those who wash the engine. I just cannot imagine getting the engine that clean without the use of a lot of water. Can we ask how much it cost and how long it took?

I paid $160 for the full detail. There was 3 guys and it took them about 3 and 1/2 hours.

They got out all the pinstriping except for one deep scratch- One guy buffed it for a good hour.

I drove it around today for a few hours and everything is fine with the engine. I asked him about that and he said you pressure wash it with the engine on and cover the battery. Then he degreases it with the engine off.
