Yep, finally got around to finishing up detailing my F-250. Washed with AJAX dish soap (BREWDUDE almost crapped his pants when I told him that), clayed the ENTIRE damn truck, #80, #7, #26. Also polished the wheels and center caps. Yeah, the pics suck, but I wasn't finished til it was dark. I'm thinking of giving it another coat of #26 tomorrow just for good luck, and maybe topping that with some NXT.

Here's the claybar after doing 1/4 of the hood.

No, the truck isn't missing a center cap in the following pic. It was just removed for cleaning.



I consider the driver's side bedside to be the worst panel on the truck, and even it looks pretty good.

Wheel wells (found an old bottle of Armor-All and decided that it needed to die). I basically sprayed this on there blind and didn't know how it looked til I saw the pics.

 

Looks good Zack. I would assume the truck has never been clayed. lol. Anyways I have been detailing like a fool also for the last two days. I detailed two of my dad's work trucks, my sister car, my mom suv, my dad's truck, and last but not least my truck. It clean up pretty good for not being washed in two months. Just have to put on some NXT in the morning to finish it up.

looks great man! Mine will be getting done soon, I hope to be getting out all of that custom pinstriping that got induced on the truck from hunting.

 

I clayed the hood sometime in the spring semester but didn't do any other panels. I'm sure driving 15K miles since then hasn't helped any. And your truck looked good even when it was dirty...

Tomorrow is interior day. Gonna run my own speaker wire to all of the door speakers, hook up a cheap 10" sub that was in my boat, and reinstall my (brand new thanks to Alpine) Alpine W200.

 

Looks about time for some new shocks Z.

Truck looks good though, nice job.

 

Nice work Zack, just saw the thread.

Whoa on the clay....that is pretty contaminated.

 

Not bad there kimosabe. Don't be afraid to get in there and black out the frame that is exposed via the wheel well!

 

Was that an offer I heard to come and do it for me?

 

Yeah... sure will... that is if I make it over to Farmington in early December.

 

Sweet. You do that, and I'll buy the pie.

 

Wouldnt topping #26 with NXT just take off the #26 due to the light cleaners in NXT?

 

Looks great Zach

 

Thanks... It's getting there. With a little bit more time and supplies (aka $$$$$$) I can get the truck to how I want it to be. Just sucks that I'm a broke *** impatient college kid, cause I want it to be there now.

ETA: It's raining now. And my truck is outside.
