This truck was a beast but fun at the same time. The owner has taken very good care of it in the past five years so by the time I got my hands on it, there wasnt much for me to fix besides some bad swirls/dullness and a lot of dirt to carefully wash off.

Before

Washing a black vehicle, especially a lifted truck, takes some time and care. The last thing you want to do is to grind all of that dirt into the paint.

This truck was washed using the 2 bucket method.

Bugs and contaminants were removed with a clay bar.

The inside was really not that dirty at all. A very thorough vacuuming, water and microfiber wipe down of entire interior, grime from steering wheel and leather removed, and floor mats cleaned with a hot water extractor and mild carpet cleaner.

Door jambs were cleaned and waxed.

For the exterior, a swirl removing polish took care of the swirls. A paint sealant was applied and then a final coat of wax. This was the most time consuming due to the large surface area.

Windows were cleaned, wheel wells were scrubbed and treated, rims polished, exhaust tip and running boards were polished and all rubber and trim was treated.

This whole truck took about 7.5 hours. Most of that was polishing the swirls out.
