okay so my process was 1. wash w/ combination of rain-x wash and wax and megs deep crystal wash

2. clay which left smears b/c QD evaporated extremely fast in the heat so i gotta fix that

3. polish w/ turtle wax premium rubbing compound (clearcoat safe)

4. nxt 2.0

5. megs gold class

6. another coat of nxt 2.0 (felt i was lacking in protection)

so heres the few pics

 

 

Looks like a damn good start. Paint looks great for its age

 

Nice job! Good to see the older f150's all spiffed up.

 

It looks pretty good, how many miles are on the vehicle?

 

I'm impressed.

Nice work.

 

I suspect there's more wax on your truck than there is on 99% of the other '95's that are still on the road......

 

Wow then you definetly did a good job.

Try to work in the shade if you can, the QD shouldnt dry quite as fast

 

almost 172k and has never seen a garage






i worked under are car port at our apartment, i think it also had to do with me doing to much of an area w/ out wiping up the QD(but it was also 105 outside according to my dads car) but i am still happy with the results, i had no idea my pai nt had such a flake effect to it

 

thanks guys, i am going to put some nxt on my dads car tommorow and then some gold class the next day so i will let you know how that turns out, its a charcoal grey volvo so it should look really good

 

Looks pretty darn good, man.

Just goes to show that procedure is 100X more powerful than brand. I say that because you will not often hear folks talking about Turtle Wax products and, when they do, some will be quick to rip on them...

You took a product that most would never consider using and made it work for your application by using good technique...

Heck man, it's a great job! What can I say?

 

thanks man, and for everyone considering nxt 2.0 it goes on extremely easy, removes easier and a little goes a very very long way with this stuff and it brings a ton of depth to the paint, and then after it cured and i topped it off with the gold class, the flake started to pop and now im hooked, i am going to do my dads car tommorow in hopes of great results

 

Looks great

I do love that body style. Maybe even better than the current one. Course it could just be that my first truck looked a lot like that one. lol

 

That looks good!

 

thanks alot guys, it took me about 4-5 hours start to finish using a cheap orbital buffer and suprisingly i got a lot more swirls out of the paint than i had intended to, still need to get my hands on a DA, just looking for the right price
