2015 Ford F150 Paint Correction (carwash brush repair)

[RoyalDetail]

Such a heartbreaking sight, he used the brush at the local carwash to "clean" his truck, and got thoroughly screwed over. It was much worse in person, it was hard to really capture on camera but I tried my best. Really sucks that it was a brand new 2015 F150, with only a thousand or so miles! Ouch!

Car was washed with Incredimitt, Meg's Hyper-wash and decon'd with NanoSkin fine clay-mitt and D155 (surprisingly had more contamination than I thought it would). Paint was corrected using my Griot's Garage G21, an orange 5" LC pad using M205 (no micro-marring/haziness was seen). Plastic side pillars on the doors were 2-step corrected using my Porter Cable 7346, a 3" orange LC pad and Meguiars Plast-X, and then polished with a 3" White LC pad using M205. Tires were dressed with Chemical Guys VRP and then topped off with Natty's blue paste wax on the paint after correction. Now, onto the pics!

Man, for being brand new that thing was rough haha. Hope he learned his lesson.
Those black plastic pillars scratch soooo easy on any car - I hate them.

Thank you for shopping at Swirl City Ford "where we swirl it up for free".

Looks great! Is that one of those new aluminum body trucks? The front ends are looking more like F-250's.

Thanks! Yes it's aluminum. You can open/close the tailgate with one hand easily, it was pretty cool!
