Detailing By Dustin - 2008 Silverado 2500 DURAMAX

[DetailnByDustn]

The owner wanted this truck looking brand new :) first off I figured this would be an easy one day job. Boy was I wrong... Dirt everywhere you could see, seats, interior panels, carpet and on top of that leftover wax residue on all the trim making this an even longer detail. In the end this truck looked top notch from when I first got a hold of it. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for Viewing

[YeboGoGo]

I like.. a lot!



Very nice work!



Im highly impressed with the bissel! That little thing works well

[imported_Jakerooni]

Why does the exhaust tip stick out so far on that truck??? LOL just odd to see that. You got that interior back in shape though. Nice touch on it.

Thank you! Yeah the bissel machine is so handy when you dont want to spend $600 on a extractor. Only downside is it leave a lot of moisture but with an absorber you can quickly soak any left over moisture up!

I dont know haha a lot of diesels are that way I guess it has something to do with the design of the engine? Thanks Jake!

[2k1AmberR/T]

Those interior shots look amazing. I love how well you cleaned the panels. I still have some muddy panels that I can`t seem to get completely clean like that...I`ll have to check out some Chemical Guys products soon! Seems like they have quite a bit of quality products that I`d love to try based on some of the pictures and feedback I`ve seen on here.

thank you Amber! Chemical Guys have some of the best chemical`s I have found everything Ive used so far besides their compounds work excellent and best thing about everything is the value! I usually have to get most of their chemicals on Amazon because the shipping from Cali is expensive usually the price of all my items :( I just bundle some stuff together on amazon and get free shipping :)

[2k1AmberR/T]

Also my hat is off to you for providing so many detailed pictures. I love being able to see the before/after of several specific parts. You can never have too many photos, only too few. Thanks!

Thank you, with a better camera now I love taking pictures of the cars I detail, I agree with you on taking pictures of specific parts it helps to see the cross between before and after pictures showing the amount of work between each event.

Nice work, that truck turned out really well. Just curious, what did you use to get the wax off of the plastic trim pieces?

[Barry Theal]

Cool man. I was on dep for a while. I actually did Boot Camp the summer of my junior and senior year in high school. I did National Guard threw out my Senior year. Then I went active after my senior year. Good Luck to ya.
