Trailblazer sept 9th Rich's MAD

Here is the trailblazer me and rich(quamen) had to do for one of our customers. When we first washed this truck down we seen what we were up against and trust me we didnt enjoy it. This truck had the most swirls I have seen in a while. This is one of their daily drivers so the interior wasnt in the best shape and they have a child so that adds to the mess..but it came out nice in the end.

Before:

Hey guys.

Very impressive. It all came out quite exceptional.

What kind of solution do you use in the extractor?

Okay I hope I can answer all your questions.

Im running the pads from properautocare.com and im really not impressed with them so i have to switch again. They are the medium cut pad with ssr 2.5. Then polish with vm,ntx wax.


The extractor is made by durrmaid and it runs for about $700.00 dollars cause it is the heated unit. I dont mix the solution in the machine cause that shortens its life.

For this kind of job ill only charge the cutomer 145. I would normally charge for a job this bad 200, but this cutomer tips 50 plus for every detail and I take care of his other 2 new vehicles as well. Also as you can see from the pics we are trying to be able to remove almost all the swirls if possible. It is a daily driver, but still we want every vehcile to be as close to showroom new as possible. the extractor machine works wonders and is little to no stress on yourself.

We are using the Dk pink stuff interior cleaner, Dk extractor soap and lexol for the leather which was very dirty from having a kid in the vehcile. The carpets came out almost like new it was pretty amazing. The only sad part is that this is a very busy businessman and he decided to take a trip to another state as we were in progress, so he didnt get to see the results.
