This truck came in for a quick polish/seal exterior only detail. Below are the pics in order. Its hard to photograph Silver Birch through the changes of the paint but i can say it made a large difference in the depth and overall appearance of the paint. Its also now protected for daily driver duty for months to come. It was a hot day today, 100* so i started early and kept a slower pace to ensure it wouldnt catch up to me. Overall this detail took 5 hours to complete. Best part about this detail is no water was used, CA friendly :patriot:

Process:
Rinse free strip wash
Clay bar with medium cut
Paint decontamination on the bed lower panels with SCG Wheel cleaner to remove hard water stains/etching (70% removed)
Orange medium cut foam pad w/ Flex 3401
AIO polish
Acrylic Paint Sealant
Sonax Polynet Shield on the wheels topped with a coat of Brilliant Glaze
All chrome topped with Brilliant Glaze as well as glass
PERL tire/trim dressing
In N Out spray on the cowl/plastics

I wish someone in my area detailed like this. It definitely needs better than what I can give it. Lol
 
Looks awesome and with no water, impressive.

Side question: Was that SCG acrylic sealant you used and if so did you get the email about getting a new free bottle because of some chemical miscalculation they made? J/w if anyone has gotten their new bottle.

I got mine a while back. They sent a free bottle of the polymer detail spray too.

Yes this is SCG acrylic and it is their "re formulated" bottle. It works great. Really easy on and off.
