Default Finally detailed my truck

Finally got the time to go to work on my trucks paint .... I washed and clayed it prior to polish

I spent probably 6+hrs! Very time consuming

Used a porter cable 7424xp Dual Action Polisher with the following

- Meguiars 105 Heavy Cut Polish
- Meguiars 205 Final/Light Polish

Finished it off with meguiars ultimate wax (paste version).... This wax is the bomb

This process did wonders for my trucks paint .... Removed all oxidation/haze, swirls and light scratches

Truck is an 07 FX4 (90k miles)
3" Lift
17" Pro Comp Wheels
35" Nitto Trail Grapplers

Please excuse my run on sentences and any grammar :-)

Great work. Nothing better then a freshly polished and waxed truck or car

Go over to autogeek and look around. You may want to consider a good sealant over just a wax. They do outlast and protect that beautiful work you did there. Then you can always top the sealant with your wax.

Anyway. Great job! Dark colors are a lot of work!
