Default 18 year old truck and paint correction

I feel like it was money well spent. Yes I have rock chips and a few deeper scratches, but this option was better than a wrap or paint at this stage. The guy I used was very skilled and brought the paint back to life quite well!

Nice work. Looks fantastic. My paint could use a good correction at 15 years and 190k.

The 50/50 on the bedside shows just how hammered the finish was... nice work!

Now you have to be super careful on the two bucket washes... I always water blast the wash mitt after soaping up a panel, before it hits the rinse bucket. Works well for me plus I do a quickie maintenance polish when needed, just skinning it with a zero mechanical cut pad and some Menzerna SF- 4500.

Darker colors really showcase quality work, and that looks beautiful. I had my Summit White done to that extent once and while it came out great it didn't have the depth that black paint gives.
