Agreed. I'm always skeptical of pictures not taken in direct sunlight or other trustworthy lighting. The pictures look good but don't always tell the whole story.

Wheel wells take next to no time to do. It amazes me sometimes that people don't do them.



Truck looks good though.

From what I can tell the wheel wells look pretty clean but not shined.
If I was doing a full detail on a full size Screw (including buffing out several scratches) for $160.I would have found an area to skimp on a little bit too.

I would also like to see some close up pics to see how good they did at removing the scratches.

Use a garden sprayer to clean the engine bay. Once through with the cleaner (I use Simple Green 2:1), boar's hair brush, and then use the same sprayer to rinse. I can clean an entire engine spotless with less than 2 gallons of water. I have however blasted mine with a power washer as well and I have never had a problem.

That's actually a great idea...

If you are going to spray water on the engine, it's best to do it with it running. This dries it out a LOT quicker.

WOW!. The whole truck looks great especially the engine. Will have to remember that because I want to keep my motor clean as well. I will use some Simple Green and a garden sprayer on my hose. Coarse brush. Then wipe down as best I can. Probably do this 2 or 3 times a year.

I would say that was $160.00 well spent.

Looks like a good job for the price!

Sorry to go off topic, but what light bar is that on the front bumper?

Its a Randy Ellis light bar and it's actually mounted to the frame. It's a really well-built light bar but it's a little tight with these Hella 4000's because their so big. But it gets the job done real well
