This truck was booked for a single step swirl removal.

The owner really likes to take good care of his vehicles, even though he uses his truck as a truck, and his suv hauls kids around.

F-350 Super Duty is a TON of surface area, holy crap.

Anywho.

11 hours later in the blazing sun, I was exhausted so my final pictures are pretty terrible. Bear with me here, :P

Oh, and I wiped off the excess tire dressing after the pictures were taken, they were much more matte once I did. I do not like them THAT shiney.

Hope you enjoyed the detail, it was a lot of work. I think he's booking me for his Wife's black Armada in a week or two. Should be fun also!

That looks great. I want you to do my car. Too bad I have dents that are more noticeable then the scratches.

stupid question but does CG stand for something or is that the actual product name?

Good looking detail, that's a huge truck, I bet it took a long time, and that you have stronger muscles now. :P
