    Mats were caked in dirt and so were sprayed with APC, scrubbed and pressure washed before being hung to dry.

    Great work Ken! That how my fathers business truck is as well each time he asks me to detail it, it takes several hours to do because its a work truck and is really dirty. He is always more concerned about the interior than the exterior haha.

    Great work Ken, I agree seeing the dramatic transformations is fun; biege interior for a work truck is a big no as proved by your 50/50s, Your apc cleaned those tires comparably to AG CWC, very nice

    Looks amazing, great work.

    That engine bay was filthy, did you end up using the pressure washer on it?

    Those door jambs would have been a lot less dirty if Ford knew how to seal them better too, very common on the older trucks as well.

    Yes I used a pressure washer on it. Sprayed it with APC and let soak for a few minutes then rinsed. Use low pressure and keep the wand a couple feet away and you'll never have an issue. You're so right, they have been building cars for 100 years and can't seal a door to save their lives. Maybe thats the goal for this century.
