Default Presidential Detailed: 2002 Chevy 3500 HD- MY BIGGEST DETAIL YET!

This truck belongs to singlecam screamer, here on TR. We have been trying to set this up for the last month or so and our schedules finally met. I must say I was a bit nervous once I saw this thing coming down my street! I had never detailed anything of this size EVER! And it was my second truck since Ive started. I just had to come up with a game plan and go at it section by section, including climbing on top of the 37" tires and eventually I got it all done and it came out great! I think I got the best correction on this truck than I have on any other vehicle so far, it came out literally FLAWLESS! It helps that it was in excellent shape minus all the years of swirling/hazing that comes with a black vehicle that hasn't been up kept..ENJOY!
