Over the Top Detailing: 07 Chevy Avalanche

2007 Chevy Avalanche with about 11k miles. Originally was going to be a 1-step but it turned into a "2.5" step.


Wash:
CG CW&G 2BM, microfiber chenille mitt, foam gun
P21S wheel gel, Meg's Wheel Brighter cut 4:1 on suborn brake dust
Mothers wheel brush
EZ Detail wheel brush
OXO tire brush
Wheels clayed with "eBay" gray clay

Paint:
Mothers yellow clay, ONR

G110, orange, UC
G110, white, Swirl-X

^this was leaving some nasty DA marks so I ended up doing most of the truck with the following (via rotary):

UC, Green CCS
Swirl-X, Black CCS
3M UF, Black CCS to remove light holograms in places

RMG via G110, blue CCS pad
Collinite 476S
FK425

Adams Undercarriage
Optimum Optibond on tires, rear mud flaps

Interior:
Leather treated with Sonus to clean and protect front seats
Meg's QID on dash

------------------------------

Only 9.5 hours total on this beast so the paint isn't near perfect in many places.


On to the photos, before and during:

Thanks Barry. You're right, every car isn't going to end up perfect, especially with limited time to work with.
