My wife has a black “new to her” 2007 Yukon. The vehicle was maintained by an older couple that kept it in good shape, and actually chose a decent detailer to clean the truck up before selling it looks like. They look to have done an AIO to get the paint cleaned up, and there are no buffer trails or holograms.
That being said, it still needs attention. Life has gotten in the way, and with her last car being a lease, I wasn’t really worried with the paint condition like I normally would be. That, and I don’t spend much time at all on my Silverado as it has the standard clear coat failure. I do plan on keeping the Yukon as pristine as I can, and of course she chose black again.
The current plan is to keep it relatively clean by utilizing rinseless washes in the garage during week nights as I have time. I figure after each rinelsess wash, I will decontaminate, polish, and seal one panel at a time, as I just don’t have the time currently to devote a whole weekend to do the whole thing at once.
I have plenty of compounds/polishes, etc. But I need to get everyone’s opinion on the sealant to use. The car currently has an unknown sealant that is still beading pretty good, so I would only be applying the sealant to each panel after I polish it. Then, once the whole vehicle is done, it will get a new/solid coat of said sealant.
Of course, utilizing this, I am not looking at the ceramic type coatings.
Thanks for any and all help! :buffing:
