Well been a while since I posted anything so i figure i post one of my recent details... Process: Ext.: Wash w/nxt Clay Polish w/OCP Seal w/### Top Coat Wax w/### Hard Core Wax Int.: Vacuum (didn't need cleaning of carpets) Clean all surfaces w/### Leather Cleaner Condition Leather w/### Leather Conditioner Dress plastic w/### VRT Windows cleaned w/NXT Wheels: Started with power ball and power metal polish, but that worked like crap, so i did it all by hand with wenol. Took about 30mins/wheel! Sealed w/RimWax Tires got ### VRT The guy I delivered it to was so happy with the results he gave me a $70 tip! I forgot to take before pics of the whole car, but it wasn't horrible, just typical.

That's a clean looking Tahoe, how did you like the Chemical Guys wax and stuff? Looks good. And love the Weld wheels and BFG A/T's, I almost bought Weld Wheels for my other truck. I love seeing suv's with a clean design like Weld but with offroad tires, not the wussy street tires

Ya, those wheels are bad ass. As for how I like the ### stuff, well since i sell it I dont think I can really comment much, but I like it.

Looking good. White is pretty hard to make look wet but you did it. He gave you a 70 dollar tip and how much did you charge if I may ask? Good work bro.

You made white look good....wet and reflective. Leather looks nice too. I love your Accord. I was working for Honda when the 6 speed came out. I had an S2000 at the time. Wish I had waited!

Looks great!

This week I finally ventured over to the Chemical Guys website. For a detailer, it would seem to make a lot of sense to use their products since EVERYTHING is in bulk. I've never used any of their stuff but that might have to change soon.

I've tried their butter wax....very wet finish. Alot of Autopians love ## too. I like their prices too.

Autopians love CGs? LOL I got kicked off of autopia cuz I was "involved" (aka sold their products in small amounts to friends & detail customers, like stockin a couple bottles of stuff) with ### at the time and no other reason. Had some good detailing buddies on there.
