Mini Detail - 2002 Chevy Blazer 2dr - Blue - EHUTH1

This one was handed to me by my girlfriend She said I want to give my friend a wash and wax for her birthday..... I said good, tell her to bring it on over. I haven't detailed anything in over month, due to time restraints and my other job.

Sorry upfront for no befores as to my camera will only operate on KODAK batteries, don't ask cause I don't know! So after I was done I went to Wal-mart and got some new re-chargeables for it.

First inspection found vertical wool burn marks from Carmax they place she purchased the truck from. They were everywhere!!!! Also I found out she had been keeping the inside clean but with Georgia water restrictions the vehicle can't be washed at home or your in for a ticket...yada...yada...yada...

Long story short 6 months no wash... And I'm doing a free paint correction



Wash Cycle

CWG Via Foam gun and long handle brush get all the cracks clean.
Degreased Engine with Awesome APC, but did not dress.
Dried with towel and air compressor

Paint Correction

Clay with blue magic clay and BM lubricant
SIP via Cyclo with orange Edge Pad working 2x2 areas

Paint Protection

Magic 845 via PC and 5.5 3M Foam Finishing Pad Speed 2
Let it sit for 10 minutes and removed by hand with blue indigo MF

LSP

Malco Aquawax was applied after quick water rinse to remove polishing dust.

Tires

Cleaned with awesome APC
DP Gloss tire gel via AG applicator

Trim

Tried something different, layered all black plastic with NXT 2.0 with yellow applicator and removed with MF

Wheels

Cleaned with Meg's Wheel Brightner (5*) - Thanks to Bradley I'm sticking with this as my goto wheel cleaner!

Lightly coated the wheels with Malco's Aquawax via MF and hand.

Glass

Cleaned with the best Surf City and my own waffle-weave towels.


I didn't coat the fenderwells like I always do, because we had some high winds and I didn't fell like doing it by hand. The paint made up for that!!!

Enjoy

That would be a big NEGATIVE. The two work together so I was all alone to do all the hard work...
