Default detailing my truck..

I recently received my Jeff Werkstatt kit along with some edge 2000 pads for my DA polisher. All I can say is wow, this stuff is amazing. Ive never used anything that made metallic flake as much as this. Anyway, I will let the pictures speak for themselves. So far I only have the hood, front bumper cover (where applicable), and passenger side done. I had to go to class before I could finish up:

Slight swirl marks before:



One pass 3M Perfect it II fine rubbing compound on an orange edge 2000 pad // Followed up with Werkstatt Prime on a blue pad:





Hood, drivers side, and front bumper cover done (3M, Prime, Acryllic Jett, Trigger):



Some of that metallic "flake" I was talking about:



Unfinished side- obviously still clean and shiny..just doesn't have the depth as the other side does IMO (washed using Werkstatt Autobody wash):



Product show off on hood while Prime cures:



Product show off on hood after all steps:



Tail-gate reflection after steps completion:





Just done buffing off "Trigger" (final step in process):



Some money shots:













Can't wait to do the rest of the truck. The wheels/tires are not clean and it's driving me nuts lol.

lol thanks for the comments fellas. If you guys drop your trucks off I wouldn't mind detailing them. I'm no pro so I need all the practice I can get!
