    Default Mirror Detailing - Old and Beat up F150 ... Not everything needs a repaint.

    Did this bartering for a fathers day gift...or at least some contruction work. Worked all day friday...then came home to find this sitting in my driveway. Started on it around 9:30pm. Wanted to get the exterior paint shining in comparison to what it was. Since I was bartering for work and it needed to get done by tomorrow morning...I settled with doing a heavy cutting AIO and heavy cutting process while still being able to finish down. Finished up around 1:30am.

    It was amazing how many scratches actually came out and how much color it brought back to the paint.

    Before:






    50-50 Wow....






    After:







    Here is a reminder of what this side looked like to start with...

    Bartering has to be for something I could really use or need, in this case contracting work for fixing a deck.
