Detail Gone Bad
Black trucks are a full time job to keep clean. Here is what my drivers side door looked like after I debadged it:

Tailgate:

After I used my Porter Cable 7424 and my Adam's Polishes products this was the out come:


If I was you, I would buy a Porter Cable and some good polishes and waxes and do it yourself from now on. Your truck will have swirls in it but that is due to washing. Those come out very easy with the Porter Cable, swirl remover polish, and a orange buffing pad.
I'm down in Rhode Island so if your up for a road trip, I would be more than happy to fix it up for you.

I wasn't the one taking pictures, but it's just kind of something me and my brother do. I guess we find it kind of funny getting pictures of people lol, especially this guy. We're always recording his telephone calls, because he's kind of hard to not pick on, he's very odd. But I definitely wouldn't have been doing it at that point, especially when the circumstances were already unsteady. I did feel quite bad. I'm anxious to see if he did in fact fix his mistake.
Dude, you don't need the sun, put a shop light on that truck and you should be able to see what happened. Professional detailers don't work out in the sun, they set up shop lights so they can see the swirl marks that still remain. It is recommended to buff in the shade anyway so how else would you know if your job is done correctly? Shop lights!
Ram15002ndGen thanks for the compliment. The only person that details my truck is me. When I came home from Iraq my wife told me that she brought my truck in to get it washed. She was all happy that she did a good deed for me. When I saw my truck I cringed. So many spider webs and swirls. I couldn't get mad at her but it took me a while to get it back to my standards.
If I was you 05DodgeRamHemi I wouldn't bring my truck back to him. After the videos, pictures and pissing this guy off I would not leave my truck with this guy. Not saying that he would do something but I wouldn't chance it.

OIF Vet, would you be willing to make a write-up on how you perform your exterior details? Including all tools and items needed to complete the detail? I really would like to start doing my own details from now on, but it's the only thing I'm very nervous about doing. I love doing my own personal hand washes, but waxing has always scared me away.
Btw, my buddy is a detailer, and he as well loves "Adam's" products.

No worries. I'll get that done today for you. It's very safe and with a Porter Cable, you can't screw your paint up. It's a orbital polisher not a rotary one. Orbital polishers mimick the movement of a human hand but only at faster speeds.
