Detail: Red Dodge Ram (10 pics)

This truck received a new paint job, but the finishing work left much to be desired. There were some light rotary holograms, and I have never seen so much overspray on any vehicle. The hood was especially bad - felt worse than sandpaper. Because of this, the paint was pretty dull and life-less. I think the owner and I were both pleased with the outcome.

Interior:

Vacuum
Light steaming

Exterior:

Simple Green 1:3 for wheels/tires/wells
Meguiar's NXT wash
Zaino Z18 clay (took the whole bar)
Pinnacle XMT 3 Intermediate with light cutting pad via PC - speed 6
Werkstatt Prime Strong with polish pad via PC - speed 5
Werkstatt Trigger by hand
Armor All in wells
Zaino Z16 for tires and trim
Sprayway on glass

Hood Issue:

Clayed x 3
Prime Strong with light cutting
XMT 3 Intermediate with light cutting
Menzerna PO106FF with polishing
Prime Strong with polishing

Another great job Zane! I have a question on what exactly you did to the wheel wells? I read that you used Simple Green (SG) but I do not know what the 1:3 is. Is it one part water and three parts SG or 1 SG to three parts water. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, guys!

EHuff - it is 1 part Simple Green and 3 parts water. I spray it on, let it dwell for a minute, and scrub with a brush and mitt (rinse thoroughly).
