Wash, Polish and Wax!

I decided to do the full detailing on the Roush this weekend, and I must say that the Sonus line is simply fantastic. Here's the list of items done:
  1. Wash with Mequiers Car wash soap.
  2. Hand dry.
  3. Complete polish with Sonus SFX-2 and Sonus SFX-2 foam pad using Porter Cable Orbital. This included all glass.
  4. Complete polish with Sonus SFX-3 and Sonus SFX-3 foam pad.
  5. Hand clean with Sonus microfiber towel.
  6. Hand application of KLASS all in one with Sonus applicator foam pad.
  7. 2 coats of KLASS acrylic glaze using PC and Sonus applicator.
  8. PC buff with microfiber attachment.
  9. Mother's Back to Black applied to all plastic.
  10. Hot shot tire dressing applied.
  11. Blue Magic polish on all wheels and brightwork.

Here are the results:

I use Spray'N Wash for cleaning the engine compartment. There's not an easier, cleaner way to get that showroom engine bay. Just spray, soak, and rinse.

Black's a biatch to clean and have looking the shizzle. A job well done, sir.

Kudos!

Agree with 4wd150, though.

Is it a REAL Roush F-150? Looks kinda plain except for the badges. Nice job tho, love the dual exhaust. What did you use on the chrome and have you found an efficient way to clean inbetween the bars on these billet grilles?

Since Roush couldn't deliver on my timeline the Roush dealership made one for me 3 years ago. It's a Sport package with suspension option, hood delete, floor mats, pedals, chrome interior package, and blower.

I got rid of the exhaust. It wasn't true duals and the pipes weren't to my taste.

I use Blue Magic (paste, not liquid) for all the chrome, including the grille. It really is the best polish for metal and plastic you can buy.

Whatever it is I like it! Just a good looking not overdone truck. Love the wheels! Those would look sweet on mine.

Thanks!

The wheels are the best part of the package. Roush photos do them no justice. Simply stunning. And without all the piggy trimwork the "stage" Roush's do, let's just say it gets out of its own way and people don't know what it is either.
