This was a quick detail on my little sister`s 2003 Trailblazer, nice little SUV. She said she was falling out of love with it, so I said "bring it over!" There some swirls, but we opted to leave them be for now, as they were not too bad and are hidden by the light color. I was pretty happy overall, with the wetness and flake pop when we were done.
Process:
- coin-op spray down
- ONR wash
- Mothers clay
- KAIO on paint by PC w/ polishing pad (to maybe make a dent in swirls :help: ), also lights and trim
- SG on paint by hand via damp MF pad
- trim was dressed with F21 (did a nice recovery job on top of the KAIO)
- wheels cleaned with Eagle One All Wheel Cleaner
- wells and white letter tires cleaned with ZEP APC cut 4:1
- wells dressed with CD2 engine dressing, tires with Megs Hot Shine spray
- engine was cleaned with Simple Green cut 1:1 (didn`t let it dwell very long), no dressing
- interior got vacuumed and dressed with 303 and seats were cleaned with Woolite 10:1 ish and conditioned with Megs Leather Cleaner/Conditioner (no pics)

All Done

Pics don`t do it justice, it really had a metallic glow at this point.
