looks great man, I love the shine that blacklight leaves behind, ive used it on many and get the same results, awesome stuff for sure!

bet you were proud at the end of the day after detailing that thing, black is a royal pain to clean but damn it looks good when it is

I got me a new setup for my DA and Rotary polisher, its a set of lights that makes spotting defects much much easier!

This is the level and depth of shine that would have me bustin' piggybanks to go buy a black truck were I in the market. This is just EPIC paint perfection. I have never seen a shine like this. Well done.

Thanks guys! This is my first time at trying to detail a vehicle and I was pretty happy. Definitely nice to get props because when the wife sees it she says " you did what for 8 hrs? It looks the same!" ...haha

@Maligator , Howe much product do you think you used on the truck?
I'll have to check to be sure but I'm guessing maybe a 1/3rd to half a bottle of the v38. I was being a little liberal with it I think.

Sometimes it's nice she's truck blind, then she doesn't know what I'm spending money on

what is this black light you used in the foam cannon? is it the radiant finish car soap?

It's a soap and a glaze. I used the glaze after the polish, then sealant over top. I checked my v38 and I only used about a 1/4 of the 16oz bottle. 3bb48169f796fefd30f261b7679f7713.jpg

I have found that with some of these products the less you use the better the results are.

I had a pretty good gouge in my driver's door (@Pull Ya saw it first hand) and I have been sweating the possibility that the panel would need repainting. I was almost certain it was down to the paint. I spent 2 hours this morning on just that door and got 95% of that gouge out. I washed, clayed, polished, sealed, waxed and glazed this door. If you couldn't tell, I am a big @AdamsPolishes fan. Now it is too hot to do the rest of the truck and she won't fit in the garage so it has to wait until Sunday. But I am VERY stoked with the results on this door! Not bad for a 2010.
