Not too long ago, I was contacted by an individual with the below seen Ford F150.
The complaint at the time was that they were unhappy with previous detailing work performed by a 3rd-party location -- which left unpleasant damage and swirls
throughout the paintwork.
The vehicle was often washed at automatic washes, with the dreaded 'foam brush', and even sponges. The owner was well aware of the damages that can be caused
when using such methods, and wanted the vehicle back in a factory fresh condition, so that he could properly maintain it for years to come.
Tools & Equipment
Here are some images of the vehicle before any restorative work had been performed:
After a thorough wash and decontamination, the polishing began. Note that these are 'process shots', and don't reflect the end result of the multi-stage polish.
A few other things to polish, restore...
Once all polishing was completed and the paint brought back to a rich, deep state, all paintwork was coated with CQuartz UK (2 coats) followed by CQuartz Classic.
End result is that the truck looks great, and will continue to look that way for a long time to come!
