Not the F150, but it's next

Did a detail on my mom's car for sale reasons.
We did a wash with zaino Z7, clay bar, then a poliseal sealent, topped with pinnacle Souveran. rain-X on the windows, tire shine, some special rim cleaner because there is so much damn brake dust from this car, and then industrial strength (my friend's fam owns a carwash) carpet cleaner with mytee spider industrial carpet shampooer. interior was a full carpet shampoo , 303 on the interior surfaces, connolly leather cleaner and conditioner.

I know it's not an F150 but my Pearl Blue should be next. Pics in Gallery of my truck.

Nice work! I'm sure your mom will appreciate it when the prospective buyers see how immaculate it is

Nice!


I think my truck is second in line behind yours for that extensive detailing, Ian. Make sure you put some time aside for doing mine (wink,wink).

Thanks! I have to do the leather and maybe a quick detail before someone comes to look at it. No calls yet though

I was always told that you should buy a car clean, and sell a car dirty. That way when you sell it there are bugs and stuff on the outside (they will miss some knicks and scratches) and when you buy a clean car you can notice all of that. Thats just what I was tought but maybe that only works with Ford dealerships?? lol
