usabodyguard Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 So saturday Dylan from adams polishes came up to detail my truck with his buddy anthony... We started at 9am sat morning and went until dark... here is the truck before we started... First step - clean the wheels Next they have a bitchen soap/foam machine that they cover the entire truck in soap/foam... Before they touch the paint, the wash off all of the soap, then reapply another application of soap/foam and then proceed to washing the truck with adams wash pads Then they rinse it off, the dry it with adams drying cloths, after which the blow it dry with a leaf blower (my wet/dry vac from sears doubles as a leaf blower - highly recommended!) The detail products! Inspecting the NEW paint and all of the swirls - Orange pad with achine polish... hard at work dylan! Time for the fine polishing... white pad with a SMALL amount of product! I learned that a LITTLE product goes a long way. Inspecting the results - this is BEFORE any wax!! No more swirls, yaaaaa time for some VRT in the engine bay two coats of Americana wax - this stuff is insane! the powerplant - forged 427 LSX with a TVS 2300 SC. I could not get final pics because it was already dark out, and today there were several CLOSE fires in the area so I left her inside - I will get some final pics on tuesday. Big thanks to Dylan and Anthony, two very good guys who worked their asses off. I highly recommend them - IF you can get an appointment!!

usabodyguard Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 BTW - The radiator shroud cover is from Art - WICKEDOWESIX... To give the sponsors some love I had Jon - idahoBLKss - make me some vinyl stickers all in black - he found all of the sponsor logos and had them digitized and printed them for me. I sanded down the CF cover and applied them, I then had the entire shroud cleared so that the stickers are all under clear... pics are hard to tell but it came out really sweet in person. I also had the CF fuse box lid done too, but only one large AEROMOTIVE sticker done just like the radiator shroud. Thanks again to Art and Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
