Swirls removed!!!

Got my ARE bed cover back yesterday from some warranty repairs on it, only to find it was scratched all to he!! and apparently they thought they would be kind and buff it for me and left swirls all over it.

I have been at it since 7am and just now got finished with the outside of the truck. I still have to go out and do the inside detail now.

Started out pressure washing the undercarriage and engine then washed the truck with 2 bucket method and grit guards. Washed with meguiars gold shampoo and conditioner then air dried the truck.

Sprayed the undercarriage, engine, and tires with hyper-dressing. Waxed wheels.

Clayed the whole truck. Then proceeded with the g100 and cleaner/polish/wax.

Cleaned all plastic trim and step boards with plastic cleaner spray.

Here is some before and after. I will add some more after when I back it out of the garage again.

Pic 1....notice all the spots on the cover, tree sap and bird crap from the place I picked the cover up.



Pic 2....thanks for the swirls guys.



Pic 3....some of the products used today.

Everything clean under here, but I was getting to tired to take off the wheels and wash the back sides.

Beautiful work! (and scenery)

This is another post that should be living prove to eveyone that it's "how you do it" as much as "what products to use"!
