Buffing Old Paint and Peeling Clear Coat on the 85 F-150. Huge Difference!

Bringing out the shine on my old 35 year old paint was far easier than I thought it would be. All it took was a little time, elbow grease, a buffer, some pads, and some compound and my truck's paint job went from dull and ugly to shiny and much less ugly!
Before I buffed the paint I had to make sure everything was clean, so I pressure washed, hand washed, and then used clay bar on the entire truck. Then I used a Harbor Freight buffing pad along with a Tacklife buffer and Meguire's Ultimate Compound to achieve my paint correction. I'm thrilled with the results.
Once everything was done I put on some Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. We'll see how it holds up. I might do a video in the future discussing how it does over the course of a year. For more information on it or to see how it stacks up vs the competition, see Project Farm's video here: • Best Ceramic Spray Coa...
The only part of the truck that I couldn't really do anything with was the hood, but you'll see that in the video. The paint there is just too far gone. I have a plan for that though in an upcoming video.
Update! See how the truck looks and how this job held up after three years in the harsh NM sun.
• 3-Year Condition Updat...
Here's the stuff I used to make this happen:
Buffer: amzn.to/3oWeeS8
Compound: amzn.to/3rAtTbx
Pads: bit.ly/3cThkDU
Ceramic Coating: amzn.to/3tBad9a

Got a 83 back in oct with 62000miles. Fell in love Now I'm a Ford guy. Rebuilt the carb and now I'm buffing it. Keep them coming .

Just found this channel. Glad I did. Such a friendly, watchable dude 🙏👍💪

[@BULLARDtheOKIE]

Me too! Good guy...No cussing and acting stupid!

[@ryant3814]

Love your approach, "I'm going for better than it was..."! I'm in the same boat, restoring an old pickup for a new teen driver. Thanks man, this is great, I'm in the same position, learning by doing, and appreciate your content very much.

[@raizt1596]

This truck looks great! The buff and polish really dressed it up. I think you should continue with the philosophy of "Make it better than it was" when you're making changes to the truck. It's a good way to have fun, enjoy yourself, and not get burnt out.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have always wondered what the results would be.

Love it man! Currently working on my 86 250 diesel bullnose and you’re giving me great ideas.

[@jimconway3301]

I'm working on a 1994 F 250 XL 4x4 Heavy Duty. It has some rust but not too bad. I'm glad i found your channel to give me some tips to save some cash.

[@alb5753]

That turned out so nice. Awesome truck I’m excited to see what you do with it

[@squarebodybuilder]

i bet if you got some cutting compound you could feather the clear coat into the hood and blend it nicely.

[@garygrogan2807]

Good, simple explanation of everything. Great video!

Looks great. Can't wait to try it on mine. Thanks. Timmy D. Neeley

[@aber1711]

The truck looks great. I actually have the 94 version in the same short bed and bright red color but my hood and roof are worse than yours. I did a clay and one step polish and brought back the shine. Your video is making me want to cut and ceramic it. I definitely think I will sand and repaint/clear the hood and roof. Keep up the good work.

[@murraykriner9425]

It would definitely serve for most people's taste, just having a shinier looking rig than before, though most folks would opt to have the neighbor kid do the work for them. He works for Vapes & Video games, not real life pursuits like house payments and vacations. Take care!

Those look like the Organ Mountains. I’m in Las Cruces, jumped on here for some info to help a friend restore the paint on his truck. Haha

[@DanielBODell]

Lightly spray the pad with water and use a good amount of compound and let the compound do its job. What you are doing is feeding the oil back in the paint...take your time!

[@UnblockedOne2]

Ok Joey C, here's my response. I'm not going to lift a 4x2. Even if I were, I'd have a hard time getting my old fat butt into a truck lifted that high. So, no, I won't be lifting this truck. Thanks for the comments though my friend. 🙂
