I've decided to fix up my old 99 F150. It has always been parked outside, and while it is mechanically excellent, I never cared about how it looks and it shows.
So what is involved in detailing it myself or should I pay a detail place to do it? I've heard about a clay bar or using an orbital sander, but not sure if they are mutually exclusive or what. |

Quoted:
It really depends on how dirty it is and how clean you want it. +1. If you just want to shine it up a little and make it look nice for as cheap as possible, I'd just do a wash, clay, and wax. The clay you buy will usually come with wax anyways, so you don't need to buy a bunch of different items. You could just do a simple wash and wax, but claying really does make a big difference. I haven't made myself spend the money on a dual action polisher yet, but that will be my next step. |
