Detailed Mom's Explorer
 
Here is the process I used
Wash with Zaino Z7
Clayed with Zaino Z18
PBs SSR2.5 with Sonus Orange Pad
PBs SSR2.5 with Sonus Green Pad
PBs SSR1 with Sonus Green Pad
Klasse AIO with Sonus Blue Pad
Topped with #26 and Mothers FX QD

Overall I am vary happy how the truck came out, just depressed at some of the rust forming, clear coar failure, and bad paint from the body shop :mad:

BTW I did do the trim (no pictures) with PBs NL but I did not do the wheels, tires, or wheel wells (too tired)

Anyhow enough talk, here are a lot of pics with some commentary

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC00854.jpg Got antsy and did this with the white porter cable pad and SSR1 (sort of side by side comparison)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC00885.jpg Top left corner shows some oxidation, it was far worse than the pictures show all over the car
