Over the Top Detailing: 07 Chevy Avalanche

**imported_shine** · 04-18-2009, 10:33 AM

2007 Chevy Avalanche with about 11k miles. Originally was going to be a 1-step but it turned into a "2.5" step.

Wash:

CG CW&G 2BM, microfiber chenille mitt, foam gun

P21S wheel gel, Meg`s Wheel Brighter cut 4:1 on suborn brake dust

Mothers wheel brush

EZ Detail wheel brush

OXO tire brush

Wheels clayed with "eBay" gray clay

Paint:

Mothers yellow clay, ONR

G110, orange, UC

G110, white, Swirl-X

^this was leaving some nasty DA marks so I ended up doing most of the truck with the following (via rotary):

UC, Green CCS

Swirl-X, Black CCS

3M UF, Black CCS to remove light holograms in places

RMG via G110, blue CCS pad

Collinite 476S

FK425

Adams Undercarriage

Optimum Optibond on tires, rear mud flaps

Interior:

Leather treated with Sonus to clean and protect front seats

Meg`s QID on dash

------------------------------

Only 9.5 hours total on this beast so the paint isn`t near perfect in many places.

On to the photos, before and during:

Thanks Barry. You`re right, every car isn`t going to end up perfect, especially with limited time to work with.
