Detailed - 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 - EHUTH1

[ehuth1]

Degrease Problem areas with *PB Bug Squash (tar, bugs, mud etc...) and followed with quick Rinse
Clean wheels, tires and wells with "The Brown Stuff" Spray on let sit for 5-10 seconds and rinse.
FOAM GUN - 2oz of DG901 and 1oz of Wash-N-Wax the rest water. 65% mix rate.
Let this sit for 5 Minutes and now I pop out the foam attachment and pop in the sprayer nozzle. This was done with the Karcher 1400psi unit.
Spray off foam. Start at the top and make my way down to the bottom.
MF Towel dry using DP 4-n-1 QD. This breaks the water and releases it to help my towel from soaking to much up too quick.
Next we drag the vac out and start in the rear and come to the front hitting all the cracks and crevices. Then I apply dressing to all door jambs and rubber seals.
Grabbed a old MF towel and used some MEGS ID to clean the scuffs and cup holders.
I always do the tires (UV2) next along with the wells (AA Tire Foam), running boards (303), and bumper trim (303), then I follow that up with the cleaning of the wheels and chrome bumpers if any with Clearkote QS.
While I'm waiting for the tire shine to settle in I go inside and wash my hands and get my waffle weaves and Stoners IG and hit all the windows inside and out.
It's just about time for XMT 360 via orange CCS. This paint was in decent shape with hardly any rough spots. This to works good outside so you can see your results, so off I went. Next step was to finish with Pinnacle LS then cover that with Pinnacle Spray Souveran. This paint was really looking good !!
Now it's time to final inspect and move to the next of 3.BEFORES

XMT360 and Liquid Souveran produced great result! Very easy too.

Very nice ehuth1! Your really into white paint today. I use XMT 360 and Liquid Souveran on the white van the last time I detailed it. The combinations looks great on white.

White...all I see is white...you sure did a bunch of white. Looks good, I like the interior.

Thanks for sharing, how many did you do? Wow good job there buddy, lots of work for you.

i notice your steps are few...(no offense) compared to my steps. How long does a detail take? and do you do shampoo or hot water extraction on the carpets? just curious

This vehicle was just purchased from a dealer, and it pretty much had been went through but he wanted the high spots touched up and the paint to shine like new. I usually do the carpets and crank up the extractor from time to time, but it's usually not needed. This tahoe took 3 hours.

ok gotcha... thanks for sharing

[P1et]

Stellar work as usual!

I can see that business is going well for you, nice!

[Driven Auto Detail]

Awesome work, especially in 3 hours on a vehicle that size!

[Jackie]

That looks great! Very nice job! I’m planning to do the same thing plus adding in a Chevrolet Tahoe Bumper Insert (http://www.pitstopautoparts.com/chevrolet-tahoe-bumper-insert.html). I’ve seen one yesterday so it got me inspired. Now, I just have to look for the materials needed. And, yours would be a guide. Thanks for that!

BTW, I love your interior, looking really clean. :cheers:

[Jimmie]

[sparkie]

Awesome work in deed! You really up the level of the paint. Done it in 3 hours, holy ShMITT man , tha't kicking butt!!!!

[bandgeek99]
