OK, so you all know that we have a 2002 Tahoe that`s dark blue and is used primarily for: (a) hauling the dogs around and (b) wife`s work which consists of 4-wheeling through fields after stray animals, and all sorts of other `dirty work`.
I admit (and Bret can confirm this) that I`ve been neglecting the Tahoe lately. I last Zaino`d it in February of 2002, and since then Amy has been taking it through the local car wash after every few weeks. Whenever I`d get a free moment, I usually tried to give it a Z7 wash and a good wheel-well/tire cleaning.
So, we got some nice weather this weekend and I decided to treat the Tahoe to a "works" detailing. It started yesterday with a thorough wash, wheel cleaning, wheel-well cleaning, underbody cleaning, clay, FI-II, SMR and P21S GEPC. I finished the interior at about 12:00am last night (after starting at 1:00pm).
I got up this morning, did a Z7 wash, and lovingly applied layers of Z5/ZFX, followed by Z6 wipe downs inbetween. The tires were treated to some Z16 and the windows were cleaned and Rain-X`d.
I had just finished my final wipe down with Z6 and went inside to get the camera. As I was walking out to the driveway to snap a few pic`s, Amy says, "I`m going to go do some Christmas shopping, I`ll be back in a few hours." And with that, she hopped in the truck and drove off.
So, after some 18 hours of tender care, the Tahoe is off to war again. I can only imagine what it`s going to look like when it returns, and the worst part is: no pictures. :(
Oh well.....women.....can`t live with `em....can`t kill `em.... :D
J/K - I like to give her a hard time about her `abuse` of the Tahoe. It really did look good, though - honest!
