Working trucks need love, too right? Recently we worked on a massive Ford F-350 Dually, performing a 1-step correction and ceramic coating. While the paint was in pretty good condition there was an excessive amount of fallout; tar, rail dust etc. After a wash, clay and fallout remover these deposits were not budging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No worries, we broke out the Rupes UHS<\/a> and UHS pad<\/a> and went to work. The firm pad really helped in quickly removing the leftovers, which still took hours due to the sheer size. However, working on big trucks sure is a lot better on your back! A second pass was needed with a fresh pad to refine the finish, but the result was a beautiful, pure white.<\/p>\n

Inside the letters required hand polishing to get every corner properly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taillights were polished to remove the swirls and water etching.<\/p>\n

Next, we polished up the wheels with Poorboys Metal Polish<\/a>, a cone drill attachment did wonders to get all the way into the back of those rear wheels.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With all the polishing done we proceeded to a CarPro Eraser<\/a> wipedown, not only work great but also smells nice, and began the coating process. Gtechniq CSL<\/a> topped with EXO<\/a>, also knows and CSL Black, for up to 5 year of protection. The wheels received the same treatment and the windshield just the CSL.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While that was setting, we moved into the interior. To clean rubber floors mats, pedals, even running boards you never want to use a dressing. However, ONR<\/a> and a wheel brush<\/a> do wonders to not only clean but provide nice even finish. Chemical Guys VRP<\/a> applied to all exterior plastics and tires.<\/p>\n

Finished off with a final wipedown with Gtechniq C2 V3<\/a> to button it up and glass done last with a new set of gloves as to not get anything on it.<\/p>\n

This bad boy is now looking amazing and protected from the harsh\u00a0CA sun for years to come.<\/p>\n
