2011 Escalade ESV in Black! AKA Land Yacht!
Had a new client who dropped off this land yacht last week for some serious polishing and a good interior detail. The interior overall wasn`t bad at all. Just big and time consuming. The paint was another story. Although clean, it was far from nice as he admitted to frequenting the local scratch and swirl car wash. I made it very clear that needs to stop if he was going to be paying me good money to spend the time and correct this thing. He completely agreed and the light bulb went off in his head when I started educating him on proper wash methods etc.
Wash/Decon
Foamed with Hyper wash, Aggressive wash method, Mothers speed clay
Wheels/Tires
Sonax wheel cleaner plus, LATA, Hyper dressing, Mothers all chrome spray
Correction
M100, G21, Boss microfiber cutting pad
Finish polished with Hyper polish, Rupes Yellow pad and G21.
Adams swirl killer mini was also used with 3in/4in pads
LSP
FUSSO COAT "WAX". I had bought a can of this a couple months ago but have only done a couple tests and TBH I`m impressed with its slickness and hydrophobic properties. Nice addition to vehicles not getting a coating.
Interior
Plastics, seats etc all steamed then dressed with IGL dash.
Carpets cleaned with Mckees carpet and upholstery cleaner.
Engine
LATA then dressed with Hyper dressing.

... and inform him that you can only do that level of correction x number of times before he is out of clear coat. Now that's she's prestine (awesome job BTW) the owner should be in preservation mode.

Thanks guys. I'm sure I will be seeing this Escalade frequently as he has a son who goes to the same preschool as mine.

Wow, I think one side of that Escalade has the same surface area as my entire car, nice work.

I charged 900 total. 250 for the interior since it wasn't too bad. 650 for the correction and wax.
