Default My Truck

Hi my name is Shawn. I am the owner/founder of Sully's Detailing (www.sullysdetailing.com) I just got a Mitsu Raider. I had a MKV GTI before this truck and an Eclipse GT before that.

I needed a truck for work and detailing cars and they had the best deal it not a bad truck at all. Power is pretty good for a 3.7L. I prob be doing intake, TB, exhaust chip soon.

The truck :

can i get some details on how to make my truck as shiny as yours??
I know youve detailed it, and you own a detail shop.. But for someone at home, what can i buy at like auto zone or walmart that will help me get it better then just a regular wash.

Ive never detailed any of mine or parents cars before.

The Raider is what the Dakota should have looked like. I find that shooting a load on the paint really brings out the luster.

+1

I think the Raider is far better in the looks dept than the Dak's. If I had a dealer anywhere within 100 miles from me, that's what I would have bought. Love my Dakota, but that thing is just plain PERDY!
