That's a different kind of truck love I guess.

I'll hazard a guess and say that looks better than the day it was delivered new.
Nice work Juan, always enjoy seeing your before and after shots.

very good work. Those big trucks are quite work to detail.

That's a hell of a great truck but boy, are they expensive. I'd be afraid of a door ding on that thing.

I drive a much older version of that F-250 and just use it to haul stuff and pull my trailers, I like 'em a little more broken-in, if you know what I'm sayin'. Still, my 1999 w/ 200k+ miles is pretty clean. I started to buff it one day when I was bored at the shop but only did the passenger side before hanging it up or getting busy again, (can't remember which).



Drivers side looks good, too...just less shiney. Some day I'll finish the job.

Is a very rare color to find, is a lot of real estate lol, It took 10 hours to complete that work

That's the first King Ranch that I've seen in that color - really striking!

Fantastic job on the paint!

Beautiful job. I would be afraid to take it out.
BTW when I detail my Speedster I rub it down with live culture yogurt and fresh grape leaves. Keeps it healthy.

You'd be pissed if I asked you to detail my F350 that is the same body configuration as that.....

That's like polishing an acre of paint! It takes forever just to wash my F150 Supercrew, and requires a ladder. I definitely prefer detailing a sports car.
