That truck got a new lease on life as long as the owner takes care of it. Great work.

What do you use to bring back the color to the black plastic?

Looks like Adams Super VRT.

Outstanding transformation, Dylan!

I've never used your companies line of products but I'm going to be placing an order for the Super VRT, In and Out spray and a few other items I'd like to try out. THanks for taking the time to post that well thought out detail!

Just a quick question. How durable as far as length of time or washes does the VRT and In and Out spray last?

Def some products I'd like to try out and hopefully add to my arsenal. Thanks!

Ohh God!! That truck might as well be band new! Well done! I now have to order an Adam's kit for my GTO and my fiance's 2000 Expedition which is in about the same condition as that F350!

I've been browsing their site lately, and apparently the super VRT has a new polymer blend that makes it repel water so it has a fairly long life! And since it's low gloss I'm definitely going to be ordering some myself as well!


Night and day on those before and afters!

I hope that's true. I don't like anything super glossy (while I do have customers who prefer that and I do give them the option) so this may be something I add to my gallon refills.

After browsing your store and checking out your forums and the main thread for this truck, I think Ill be picking up a Flex/Porter starter kit for my 3-Series.'

Eventually I have to do my mother-in-laws F-250 with something like an 8" lift, and every year I dread it. Tempted to tell her to take it to a detail shop and pay them because to do all that starting at 7 am and finishing at 8 pm and not even cleaning inside and engine bay, it's brutal.

Add in the fact being 6'7" and the retarded thing being even taller I have to move a damn foot stool around everywhere just to get some of the middle sections.
