    Chevy Tahoe detail

    Got my first post winter detail for the year done this past weekend. My Uncle's wife bought hime a "gift certificate" to get his Tahoe detailed by me for him for this past Christmas. I originally wasn't going to post anything up because I didn't get a chance to get the after shots that I wanted to, but figured I had something, so what the hell.

    Wasn't too crazy of a job....just a matter of getting the winter crud off and get her polished up/sealed. It was pretty dirty as you'll see in the pictures, so I went with a 2 bucket wash using Optimum car wash and followed that up with some paint decon. using a fine grade Nanoskin prep towel (God I love this thing). They weren't paying for perfect paint, so I got what I could out utilizing HD Polish with a tangerine pad on the Rupes and sealed it up with Opti-Seal. Sonax Full Effect cleaned the wheels up and sealed those up with Opti-Seal as well. On to the pics:

    Before:































    Here's some pics of the paint condition. It really didn't seem too bad until I threw the work light on it. Light swirling covering the vehicle which I later found out have been present ever since my uncle took delivery of the truck from the dealership. Fortunately under normal lighting outside it didn't look too terrible. This is where I was really disappointed I ran out of time to get detailed after pics. The HD Polish did a fantastic job of getting rid of everything except for the deeper RID's.












    And finally a few pics I quick snapped before they took off:

    He was absolutely thrilled when he picked it up. Said it looked better than it ever has before and actually just text me today to let me know it's been sitting in his garage since Saturday because he doesn't want to get it dirty lol
