Detailing My Truck | Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In this video I take you through the entire decontamination, paint correction, and ceramic coating process of my own vehicle, the Ford F150.
Lots of work went into this one as it is the biggest vehicle I have ever corrected and coated. Over 3 days I worked to bring my truck to a whole new level and I think it really payed off!

Great job. Truck looks awesome. Too bad you're not closer to me I would pay you to do my truck.
Thank you! If only!
I’m exhausted just watching it! Totally awesome Cam!!
Thanks so much! Sure is a lot of work but totally worth it.
Thanks for posting this. Going to do the same on my truck.
Glad it helped!
You had great effort in this video. It shows you care about your truck. I had to sub after that.
Appreciate that man!
Great video man
Thanks so much Cade! Appreciate the support
Excellent work!
Thank you!
Great work!! I really appreciate the time you took to cover all ends, from start to finish. Great looking truck also!!
Thank you!
Nice car daitiling ❤
Thank you!
nice video man, keep it up
Thanks so much man!!
Looks great. What do you use to clean silicone keypads?
Correct procedures !
Thanks!
Really good! For DIYers, do you think turtle wax hybrid solution last? I am looking for online reviews and no one talks about their longevity.
Actually yes, whatever the green bottled ceramic spray is. It’s not bad at all. I use gtechniq spray sealant
You are the first detailer to use air pressure to blow off the water from the car
Most try to push the idea of getting a special device to do that
They use even different air blowers as a only way to get rid of the water
I guess they get a kick back every time they promote that idea or free stuff from the retailer
Nonsense
Yes I used compressed air for a while and then ended up getting a blower. Either is fine but blower definitely moves more water.
Quick question how do you like the McKees rinseless? I've been trying different types of waterless and rinseless washing processes and mckees being local to me I really want to try them plus it seems everyone agrees they make a damn good product!!! Have you tried it against diy's rinseless yet? Also one last but pretty important question about the mckees, does it leave a film when it dries on the car if you for example miss some while drying?
I don’t recommend rinse less washing at all. I’m sure the product is great, but if you’re going to get your car wet you might as well just wash it normally
How do you deal with paint chips? do you touch up between details?
I just do minor touch up prior to paint correction if it needs it
what machines did you use and pad sizes?

Hi ,nice video can you share were to buy the grafhene ceramic coating you used please
Sure thing Antonio! Professional Detailing Products in Ohio. Coating can be a bit finicky if you wait too long to wipe off. Key is to wipe right when it starts to bead on itself. Best of luck!
@@CameronRDavis thanks for answering, is there a link to buy the product, do you recommend it
@@antoniotzul8807 I can’t sent links in the comment section unfortunately. But if you go to professionaldetailingproducts.com and go to their coating section, it is called Perpetual 10h Graphene. I like the coating for paint and wheels but hated it on my windshield because it would cause wiper chatter. I’ve been using CarPro Flyby Forte for windshield coating.
@@CameronRDavis I see thanks for the info ,I just planing on do it to my tundra I never have done something like that ,
@@antoniotzul8807 I would caution against it if this is your first time using a coating. Inc sit cures you can’t even compound it off because sit is so hard, so if you make a mistake you would have to wetsand. I’d highly recommend either CarPro Uk 3.0 or Crystal Serum light for your first coating as they are easy to work with. Once you get one coating under your belt you’ll be more confident and can try a tougher one. Make sure you do it indoors and have a decent light or two!
.............🤔😐😐...........you do this every time you wash/clean the truck? I take it you don't have children or pets or a job?
This must take days to complete.
No! This coating would last for over a year. After application a simple hand wash is all I do for maintenance
Too much work! I don’t see a difference. Sure looks great! It’s cleaner , yes but is it noticeable? I have a feeling this ceramic coating stuff is a placebo.
Yes lots of work, but important to polish for coating adhesion anyway. Been over 7 months since I applied the coating, it’s been through the gross salty Pittsburgh winter and is still holding up great and water beading as it should!
@@CameronRDavis very nice!!!! I’m not too far away from u. I’m in Philadelphia pa :)
@@CameronRDavis just spray some grease / oil and your car will shine and repel water the same as with this ceramic coating lol
I should not need paint correction on a brand new vehicle. Manufactures qc is shit!
استهلاك الوقود عالي جداً
By far your way of prerinsing is the best way to go about the start of your maintenance washing cycles it's exactly how I've switched to now and after watching your video it's given me some new ideas thanks a lot you do a better job then 90% of these so called expert detailers on UA-cam!!!
Appreciate it man
Nice job. I have an F150 as well and it is very time consuming to get a good outcome like this. I've been using spray ceramic but I think I'm going to bite the bullet and use a standard ceramic/graphene coating.
Hey, Mike! Yeah man, a quality coating is worth it. I used PDP’s on this truck (10h Graphene, 50ml). About $130 a pop. I also recommend GYEON MOHs. Super easy application and is silky smooth to the touch which I personally really like.
Most guys are BUTCHERS , any reputable detail shop takes days bc your car isn't the only one in shop .
Yes, we want to remove as little paint as possible!
How’d you polish inside the f150 print on the tailgate?
I didn’t go too crazy with that since it was a new truck. I just pushed a little harder on the pad and gave it more of a polish/clean than a paint correction since there weren’t scratches on it. Otherwise I would just use the flex mini polisher with 1 inch pads
Where you located. And do you do this for customers
I detail on the side now and I’m located in Pittsburgh
Great video….I like how you mentioned most of the products you used, as most retailers never tell what they use. Could you give me a list of everything you used? I have a ‘19 F150….been giving serious thought to doing a complete detail on mine. What do you use for the drying process I didn’t catch that part….
PDP insane orange snow foam, brake buster/PDP iron melt for wheels, Rupes LHR15 Polisher, Rupes Wool and Yellow Pads, Sonax Ultimate Cut compound, Sonax Perfect Finish Polish, PDP panel wipe, PDP 10h Graphene 5-7 year coating
We’re not going to pass by that giant house at 1:50🤣 What state is this in😳
My eyes are permanently scarred from seeing a naked bed F150 2:06☠️
Nice
Thanks!
💙👌🏻
Thank you!
Nice video, can you next time mention the ceramic coating that you’re using can do plastic and glass also.
I am using PDP Perpetual 10h coating! Works on paint, trim, and wheels. Not really a fan of it on glass.
Great job.
Thank you!
Great job! Love it and thank you I have the same color F-150 but 2011
Beautiful color and truck! You should be proud!
Ok, do mine next! I just have the bigger cab shorter bed 🤣
Bring it on over! Haha
I just found this video and I'm from Pittsburgh too. Great content
Thanks Matt, much appreciated coming from a fellow Yinzer!
This was way better than Detail Geek lol good shit, man. 👌🏼
Quite the compliment, thank you!
It's looks great
Thank you for the video
Thank you for watching!
What did you use to treat the rubber strip at the bottom of the side windows?
You can use ceramic as long as you wipe it. If you don’t wipe it’ll leave residue behind and look dried out
Excellent video! How much graphene did you use? What pressure washer and polisher did you use? What parts of truck did you NOT graphene? Thanks
Hello Laura! So I used a 50ml bottle of 10h Graphene coating from PDP. I coated all the paint including front grill, and the wheel faces. I think I did one light layer on the glass as well. I use the Karcher K17 pressure washer and Rupes LHR15 Mk. III
I didn’t coat the trim on the bed simply because I didn’t have enough coating left. I don’t think there would be any places you couldn’t use graphene though (if that’s what you were asking!)
Yes. Thank you
One thing that would help is a list of the steps you take and the products/equipment you use.
Yes, I meant to make one for this video but I didn’t have time!
@@CameronRDavis I'm about to attempt this process on my 2018 F150 of the same color
Outstanding tks
You are most welcome!
Great video man! I’m doing a full decon wash & 1-step correction and sealant on my F-150 this coming week too! What coating did you use?
That’s awesome Victor! Lots of work as you know, but so worth it at the end. I used a 10h 7 year Graphene infused coating from Professional Detailing Products in Ohio! Best of luck with your truck, I hope you enjoy the process.
