I detailed my wife's black 2006 Colorado today. It doesn't get babied much and had some swirls (from my pre-AG days) and some bad hard water spots on the paint. The full detail inside and out took about 6 hours.
Process:
Interior (no pictures):
-Cleaned floor mats with Simple Green 1:1 and stiff brush
-Wiped down all plastic with Meguiars Vinyl and Rubber Protectant
-Vacuumed floors and seats
-Cleaned glass with Armor-All glass cleaner
Exterior:
-Cleaned tires and wheels with Simple Green
-Wash with O'Reillys wash, two bucket method
-Clay with Meguiars clay and QD.
-Masked off plastic trim
-OC with orange pad on hood
-OP with white pad on whole truck
-OPS with gray pad on whole truck
-Cleaned exterior glass with Armor-All glass cleaner
-Dressed tires with some old DuPont Teflon Tire Shine I had.
-Dressed the tonneau cover with Meguiars Rubber and Vinyl Protectant
-OS on all paint, trim, and glass
-Final buff with microfiber towel

After on hood:
I really like the OS on the black matte trim. It brought the color back to like new, and hopefully it will last longer then the trim dressing I have that only lasts until the first rain.
I also lined up my first paid detail with my neighbor today. I should be doing his Dodge Ram next weekend.
Nice work !! Like how you took the whole Optimum line and used it to the max ! Thats one sharp looking Colorado.
