2007 Chevy Tahoe

So, if you remember the white CKL Mercedes I posted a few weeks back - H.S> grad gift for a regular client's daughter. This is the car she drove and just parked once she got the Merc. So, the parents are selling it and wanted it cleaned up.

Didn't get many good pics as the day was hot and I was just wanting to get to it.

This car was put into service last summer and had never seen any waxing or interior detailing.

My process here was:

Two Bucket Wash with Adams Car Wash on MF Mitt
Meg Med Clay with ONR Solution for lube
One run of 105 on PWF
One run of 205 on Uber Polishing Pad
Two coats of Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant
Wheels got P21s with Swissvax and Daytona brushes
Tires got APC then Meg All Season Dressing
Glass the usual Stoners with MF
Carpet was air purged and vacuumed then APC, Folex and dry vapor
Interior panels got some heavy APC wipedown

This is the way she drove it - crap everywhere!

Carpets were nasty!!

Door panels were covered in dirt and schmeg

Engine compartment needed some attention

On to the wash and aggitation

Some Megs Medium Clay

After the hood ONLY!

Typical wheel well

Wheels were never cleaned

Paint cleaned up nicely

Interior looks much better!

I removed a completely clogged air filter and dressed the engine

This car actually cleans up nice!

Thanks for looking

Well you did some magic on that one, looks like a different car now.. Sad that some people spoil their kids like that.. but it means more work for guys like you, which is good

Girls = trashed cars. Trust me I watch it first hand and then they have the balls to call men slobs? Please...

Great turn-around, man!

Thanks for all the kind words, fellas!!

Yeah, this girls just destroys cars and thinks nothing of it. And, at 18, she's a heartbreaker. Probably gonna marry some guy to support her and keep her in euro cars for the rest of her life!?!?!?

Given the oppurtunity I would probably marry a girl that could keep in a new Corvette all the time.
