2003 Black GMC Envoy - First Detail (Pics)

Over the weekend, I detailed my 2003 GMC Envoy for the first time with a PC. The process I used was

Wash-Clay-Wash-SSR2-SSR1-EXP. I'm pretty happy with the results, but I used WAY too much product with the PC. I was slinging all over the place. The Poorboys products were easy to use, but didn't get out 100% of the scratches. Probably more like 90%. But, that's still great!

I've had this Envoy for 19 months. I had the "paint protection" put on when I bought it, and haven't touched it since. I can definately see an improvement now!

I don't know how to attach multiple pics, so I will be posting 8 times - 4 Before, and 4 After.

Here's a before of the right rear corner of my bumper. I have no idea how it got so bad.

After #4 Side View

Here's the final pic, the side view afterwards. This is the color I thought my Envoy was the whole time! Since this pic was taken, I've added a second coat of EX-P. This weekend, will be #3, then I'll be done!

The wife's truck doesn't get the TLC that mine does. First off, it's grey, so it hides the scratches better. Second, it is made by Ford and I work for GM. I don't want it looking better than mine! Seriously, I did put a coat of PwC on it. This upcoming weekend, I'll put EXP on both of them, and call it a season!
