F-150 work truck — after full restoration
Black truck · clean finish · full vehicle or panel detail
Project Overview
A heavily used work truck brought in for decal removal, paint correction, and a complete detail. The paint had significant contamination and buffer trails from a previous improper polish. All decals were removed cleanly, the paint was corrected, and the truck was fully detailed inside and out.
Services Performed
Condition on Arrival
What we were working with.
The truck arrived with multiple vinyl decals across the doors and tailgate, heavy surface contamination from regular work use, and visible buffer trails left by a previous improper polish attempt. The interior had significant buildup from daily work use.
