So I decided for Fathers Day I would give my father a full complete detail on his Trailblazer. The Trailblazer has been waxed once...By him and he did an aweful job lol. So I was like well today is the day. So I got up moved the cars and began.



The truck was in okay condition. The interior needed a lot of help. The exterior was fine. But those damned plasic mouldings hold onto crap like no other and you cannot get stuff off of them for some damn reason. I dont know what it was, but I tried 4 diffrent products on them and nothing came off of them. Om speaking of the rocker panels on the bottom of the truck.



Process was : Wash with Megs. Gold Class, Claybar with Clay Magic, ReWash with Megs. Gold Class, Engine recieved a Megs. Gold Class wash, and Dressed with Megs. NXT Protectant and Mothers Back to Black. The exterior received Megs. #83, # 7, #26, NXT Paste. Interior was washed with OxiClean/Woolite Water Mixture and Wet-Vac Dried then the dressing was done with Megs. NXT Protectant. Wheel Wells were washed with Megs. Gold Class, then dressed with Eagle One Shine Spray and Megs. NXT Spray. Windows were done with Stoner Invisable Glass and a Microfiber Towel. All Drying was done with of course 3` x 4` Drying Microfiber Towels. Tires where dressed with Megs. Hot Tire Shine. The insides of the doors and doorjams were done with Megs. Quick Detailer, then done with Megs. NXT Booster Wax Spray.

All Polishing, Glazing, Waxing besides the Paste was done by Rotary.

So I finally call my father out to see what Ive been doing and to his amazment he LOVED it. He was like OMG it looks BRAND NEW! He stepped inside of it and said "Its even got that new car smell!" He felt how smooth the car was and said "Wow, it feels like silk, Ive never felt anything this smooth before.



Thanks for enjoying. I know I did.

Great job, that interior looked pretty rough. Did you take it apart at all to clean it (I`ve found that I can take the interior trim apart in a GMC/Chevy truck and pressure wash it faster that I can clean it with a MCME, if its really dirty). Also, any after pics of the engine?
