On a sad and heavy hearted note, my father in law is in very poor health (hospice is invoved now) and he told me tonight that he wants me to have his vehicle because I've taken such good care of it for him. It always blew his mind when I brought it back to him after detailing it. I'm honored to take it off his hand as he's no longer able to drive. He was leaving it to my wife and her sister (his daughters) to sell, but they talked and agreed that it should be given to me rather than selling it and splitting the cash. It's nothing all that great, but it's a lot nicer than my Taurus(with broken A/C in 95 degree temps) and is in absolutely brand new condition. It's a 1998 Chevy Blazer 4x4 with every available option at the time, including the touring package. He's recently replace a lot of stuff on the mechanical side, so it's practically new. Interior is PERFECT! Here it is after I detailed it last. The only thing that worries me is the gas mileage---I drive 60 miles a day round trip to work so I'll be spending more. I was going to purchase a new vehicle in about a year, but now I probably won't have to.
It got Souveran a few months back and was polished about a year ago with Poorboy's ssr2.5/ssr1 combo. The paint has stayed swirl free and nearly perfect since polishing. I keep it up with a 2 week to once a month wash and QD with Pinnacle Crystal Mist once a month(or after a wash). Wheels got Poorboys Wheel Sealant (long before these pics) and tires got AA Gel. I'm going to hit it real soon with some Menzerna PO106ff and a white pad just to bring it back and remove any swirls induced in the past year. I'll post up pics when I do.
