Beautiful!! I have to quit after the claybar and one step of polishing. I get worn out!! It is a lot of work but it sure does pay off!! Looks fantastic

Re: Put the shine on the old dog

Can we see some interior pics? Sorry I'm a bit of an interior buff.

And then some info on the wheels & tires, I like those. They look like they have a bit more tire than the low profile tire.

Beautiful truck, best results would be to let the carnuba cure overnite between coats.

I use Pinnacle carnuba wipe it on and wipe it off as it recommends if it dries it's like concrete to get off great wax the more you layer it the better......kinda pricey 95.00 for a small can but the results speak for themselves. The trick I use Mequires #7 Show glaze 2 coats then wax it all by hand.

This is my 34 Ford I got best paint this weekend at a show out of 287 cars. Using the same process I use on the truck
