SS Trailblazer

DetailnByDustn · 10-06-09, 01:02

Finally got a chance to detail this Trailblazer, I told the owners wife on Facebook that if she ever needed a detail to give me a call, well a little down the road I was at our local car show and one of her sons called me on my cell phone and told me that his dad wanted his trailblazer cleaned, I couldnt be more excited, and even wanted one of my top packages, literally I lost sleep each night because I was so excited to do this car. When I first got the car it was in worst shape then I thought, there was bugs, tar, road grime all over the rocker panels, and bumpers, it toke me three hours just to wash it, and on top of that, there were small black spots all over the top of the car, where the owner hasnt washed the top in a while. But without further review here are the before and afters.

^Yes I do. In fact, I had posted here a month or so ago with the detail of mine. I'll pm you the link (I won't post pics since this is your thread highlighting your work).

Awesome work.... it was definitely rough when you started. I have a black TBSS but white was my second choice if they couldn't locate the black I wanted.

Yeah I remember looking at that thread so I could "study up" on the regiment you use on this tbss! nice job by the way!

^Thanks. I've got to start treating mine more aggressively; You recouped this truck from that dirt very nicely. Looks like we've got some TBSS fans here. Watch out for that area below the rear door that loves to collect rock chips!!!
