2011 Escalade ESV in Black! AKA Land Yacht!

**Justin at Final Inspection** · 11-20-2017, 07:53 AM

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.

Massive amount of work and it looks like a million bucks.

Looks like a million and would have to pay me a million to detail it

Nice job looks great

... 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.
