Default 7 hours with of work...

sorry for the lack of angles but it was getting dark and the tree provided a good aspect for reflective purposes. my back and right arm were killing me, man i need to hit up chris for an ultimate detail machine.

anyways, here's the pics. ill get some better ones tomorrow




there are zero scratches left on the truck. i spent about an hour on each panel. wash x2, clay, rubbing compound, polish, 2 coats of wax. i cant wait til i dont have to do all this by hand anymore

Looks good. What products/proccess did you use?

On a side note: UDM's are nice but there have been a few durability issues reported. Just something to consider.

i detail on my own and a little on the side for people i work with. i love it, its a huge stress relief for me. i just put in a dip of copenhagen, turn on some country music and go to work. it gives me alot of satisfaction working with my hands to make something better. its a great feeling when their face brights up and they say, "holy crap! i love my car now!"

this is my first time using rubbing compound/polish so im no expert, but i have been doing my homework as you can see. wait til i get my PC and poorboys... then this thing will REALLY look good

thanks for all the kind words, guys
