Car Detailing for Ford F-150

Detailing your Ford F-150

F-150s are the backbone of every trade in the GTA, and most of the ones we detail have been working trucks for years. We treat the cab like a job site that needs a reset: blow out the dust, extract the carpets, scrub the vinyl or clean the leather, and get the work-surface console and cupholders free of coffee. The bed, tailgate and running boards get a scrub and a protectant, and the paint gets a decontamination and sealant to shrug off the salt.

What we watch for on a F-150

• Work trucks have a layer of drywall dust and sawdust in every vent and seam; we use compressed air and a vacuum before any wet cleaning so it does not turn to paste
• The flat rear floor under the flip-up SuperCrew bench is where tools, salt and spilled drinks end up; it is often the dirtiest square metre in the truck
• Aluminum body panels on 2015 and newer trucks do not rust, but the steel frame, bumpers and running boards do — we rinse the rockers and the bed crossmembers
• Raptor and Tremor trucks have wide fender flares, big tires and skid plates that pack with mud and clay, which needs a proper hand wash and brushwork
• King Ranch and Limited leather is thick and absorbs body oils; cleaning and conditioning the driver's seat and armrest keeps the colour even

Pickups: work on the outside, family on the inside

Trucks get the roughest outside treatment and a surprisingly family-sized inside. We deal with bed rails, step bars, tar and tailgate grime on the outside, and crew-cab rear seats and floor liners on the inside.
