Default 04 F350

Recently I began correcting paint.

Here is a collection of pictures of a 04 F350.

The clear coat was not in great shape...as you'd expect from years of improper washing/waxing etc.

Swirls were not easy to capture, but they were there.








Megs m105 on a yellow lake country pad didn't do much to the clearcoat. Unfortunately, the truck has been in 3 accidents and has been repainted in different places 3 different times.



I then switched to a rotary w/ wool pad.

Door before.



Door after.





I continued over the entire truck with the rotary and m105. This took several hours since this truck is gigantic.

After, I pulled it into the sun and took a few pictures. As you can see in the direct sunlight, holograms exist from the m105.



Whoever repainted the hood didn't use much clear coat.



After hitting the truck with m205 to remove holograms...and using chemical guys blacklight sealant.









Owner then wanted Wax on the sealant...so I finished with a decent wax from detail king.









I personally like the look of wax on top of sealant...over just sealant. Everyone has their own preference though.
