    Trashed Black F-250 that sat for 7 months

    Here's a little background on the truck. It was sitting on a Ford dealer's lot for 7 months, it had a blown turbo among other things. You can imagine what it looked like, well here it is!

    Wash with Foam Gun and Meguiar's Super Soap

    Clay

    I started with SIP/wool with a rotary - didn't work well

    M105 on wool

    M83 on finishing wool

    Optimum Poli-Seal on white with a PC

    3M Performance Finish on grey with PC

    Klasse AIO on all trim and glass

    Stoner's on glass and chrome

    Optimum Tire Shine

    Meguiar's APC on tires and wheel wells

    Meguiar's Hyper Dressing on wheel wells

    Really nice work~! Is that one a sold vehicle now that the new owner got a good deal and had you do it, or was it a ressurection for the dealer?

    The owner was really pleased with it.

    After litigation, the truck was taken back by the owner after Ford fixed the problems and settled out of court.

    I had to do the front half in the garage and then pull it out and back in and do the back half. Big truck!
