Truck Detailing

[Rock Crawler]

Okay maybe that was a dumb question. Obv it is either Teflon or ceramic.

If it is a 5 year, it is a ceramic or a nano-glass. It could be the new gryphene coating type, but that is still pretty new and not fully embedded into the detailing world.... yet.

If I were a betting man, I would guess Gtechniq C1 Crystal is what he used.

My truck and tractor were washed a couple days ago.....with 100% rain water.

My tractor sits in a large carport stall. Birds nest in the rafters. I wipe the bird poop off the steering wheel and seat. Then later this summer I will hose it all off the remainder of the tractor. After all the baby birds have left their nests.
I just finished wash/wax the Taco Wagon. I break it down to a three day project. Now it's a whole lot easier to see the mud that splashes up on the sides. Shiny background - tan mud.

I paid him $600. For that he buffed out all scratches, no swirls. Then stripped the paint clean, opening all the pores. Then taped off the entire truck. Then applied the product and lightly buffed it. This included the wheels removing them to treat the inside too. Treated the windshield. Applied a treatment to all the rubber/plastic trim.

VERY fair price.Had our 2018 challenger paint correction done with ceramic pro installed for $1,400.

Oh yes. Without a doubt.

Similar to a Holly discount????

It would be worth paying that once in a while. No matter how clean you try to keep it there's always seems to be road dirt and other junk that works it's way under the seat and console. He did a really good job for you. If you hadn't told us the year I never would have guessed that it's that old.

I'll take some before/after pics of Terry's GC and my Wrangler.

I run my truck through the car wash at least once a week... more, if it needs it. Last fall I picked up a pressure washer and will be doing my ATV, tractor, and implements. Before next winter I'll sink a hydrant so that I won't need to drive home after washing the salt off.

Just be careful with the pressure washer - Jstpssng. Neighbor got one for all his big tractors and planting/harvest equipment. Blew the IH Steiger decals off one side of one of his bigger tractors.

Doesn't hurt the tractor one bit. But I wonder what it does to all the grease fittings and rubber booted fittings.

I've got dirt and mildew in places that I don't even know how it got there. Good point about the grease fittings though.

GM truck frames have open tubes for cross members. After I picked up the pressure washer last year I noticed that those pieces in my company truck were packed full with mud. By the time I got done they were clean... and I was wearing the mud. Next time I'll know enough to wear my rain gear.
