Carolinaboy's Truck Project

March 8th & 9th if weather permits. I will pull the truck in the garage to do the paint correction possibly b/c my truck is in direct sunlight after about 10am so I don't wanna F anything up

Great idea. Hope it all goes smooth. Be patient with the paint correction. May want to take a sample are a few days in advance to get the feel down. Take like a quarter of the tailgate and wash it, clay it, and do the paint correction. Not only to get the feel down but to make sure whatever method/steps you choose will work for the whole truck.

There's nothing worse than doing the entire vehicle and realizing it wasn't enough.

Alright thanks Matt! I will defintely do that I might try it this weekend actually. I am going to a Brad Paisley concert two days before so, I won't have much time. So I will try it out in my garage after work one day I ordered some more pads, Dispenser Bottles, Ultimate Proctectant since meguiars discontinued ATD, and one more grit guard

I will keep you posted I need to read your write up some more too

Well Here are the finished results. You can read my steps in the link above

This is what I started out with all over the truck

Ended up with this can't tell as much here

Before:

Some Micro-Marring Left Behind:

None:

Here's some shiny shots and so wet shots:

Well All in all I am happy with the results the Carnubba wax was a BIATCH to get off but it seems to protect really well. I really got the hang of the M105 & 205 once I did a panel or two. I love the way she looks just need the smoked tails, saleen grille and PTM handles and I will be happy with the appearance. (Besides wheels and tires)

Thanks for looking guys
