Default Presidential Detailed: 2002 Chevy 3500 HD- MY BIGGEST DETAIL YET!

I must say I was a bit nervous once I saw this thing coming down my street! I had never detailed anything of this size EVER! And it was my second truck since Ive started. I just had to come up with a game plan and go at it section by section, including climbing on top of the 37" tires and eventually I got it all done and it came out great! I think I got the best correction on this truck than I have on any other vehicle so far, it came out literally FLAWLESS! It helps that it was in excellent shape minus all the years of swirling/hazing that comes with a black vehicle that hasn't been up kept..ENJOY!
