    Detail: Tahoe

    Finished up this older Tahoe for a buddy of mine with an Escalade I take care of on a regular basis. Just wanted a quick one step and wax. I took it a little further for him because he comes to me all the time and he's my buddy of course.
    Anyways... He wanted it cleaned up to get the paint looking better and not so dull and ridded with swirls. The passenger side had been repainted (very poorly I might add) and had a haze on those panels along with deep sanding marks (which you can see in some pics) but those weren't to be corrected on this "beater" this go around.

    -ONR wash with a dozen MF's
    -Clayed w/Meguiars clay
    -Wheels/Tires/Wheel wells cleaned with APC+ and various brushes
    -Trim/Tires dressed with ShowRoomFX White pearl
    -Glass treated with Stoners Invisible Glass
    -Corrected with Meguiars DA MF D300
    -Topped with Meguiars DA MF D301

    Hood before. Paint was engulfed in deep swirling. (most of the truck looked this way)


    After correcting with D300


    Passenger fender. Strong haze and deeeeep swirling coupled with a poor paint job.


    My buddy didn't want me to touch the passenger side but I couldn't let it go. I gave it two passes with D300.


    Hood in sunlight.


    Driver side rear quarter uncorrected:


    Corrected




    Haze on the passenger side door. If you look where my gloves are, you can seee the deep sanding marks.


    Notice the clarity in the picture as apposed to the one above. Big difference, not perfect...but much better. (again he didn't want me to touch this side so I did it as a favor)






    Rear gate














    Thanks for looking.
