    Mini Show 'N Shine: Jet Black 2001 GMC Yukon XL Denali

    This one came to me from a coworker that is thinking about selling it. He wanted to get the freshened up a bit before selling. Boy is this black paint hammered and in need of some serious attention.

    The level of above surface contamination was incredible. Enough contamination present to bog down the 3401 driving the Nano Skin Medium pad. If the Nano Skin pad was on a traditional DA it probably would have stopped it from rotating.

    Anyways I was able to clear up the paint nicely to give it a nice shine but the amount of defects in the paint was far to much for just an AIO. It would have needed a rotary and wool to really knock out the defects.


    Wheels and tires cleaned up with Meguiar’s D143
    Wheel Wells cleaned up with Meguiar’s D101
    Exterior trim and crevices cleaned up with D101
    Door Jambs blown out and cleaned with Tornador Black and D101

    Exterior Deconed with CarPro TRIX
    Exterior foamed up with SONAX PreWash Ultra Power & HP rinse
    Exterior foamed again with Hyperwash and washed via Meguiar’s wash media
    Clayed with Nano Skin disc on 3401 with D155

    AIO with BlackFIRE TP&S via 3401 and Meguiar’s 7” polishing pads
    Smaller areas hit with 3M 3” pneumatic DA and Meguiar’s 4” polishing pads
    Exterior trim dressed with Solution Finish
    Tires protected with McKee’s 37 Gloss Tire Gel
    Exhaust, wheels, & Grill cleaned up with Pinnacle Exhaust Cleaner and Brightener
    Windows cleaned with Wolfgang Perfekt Vision Glass Cleaner








    Quick 50/50



    Not to bad for 15 years old at 170K miles

    Looks great Mike. That thing was rough. Those things never seem to end when you're buffing.

    Great job Mike. I'm impressed that the BF was able to make that much of an improvement.

    Nice job mike!
    That thing has seen better days lol, that bubbly paint on the back looked like a scary spot to touch up.
