Chevy Tahoe

[House of Wax]

Got my first post winter detail for the year done this past weekend. `My Uncle`s wife bought hime a "gift certificate" to get his Tahoe detailed by me for him for this past Christmas. `I originally wasn`t going to post anything up because I didn`t get a chance to get the after shots that I wanted to, but figured I had something, so what the hell.


`


Wasn`t too crazy of a job....just a matter of getting the winter crud off and get her polished up/sealed. `It was pretty dirty as you`ll see in the pictures, so I went with a 2 bucket wash using Optimum car wash and followed that up with some paint decon. using a fine grade Nanoskin prep towel (God I love this thing). `They weren`t paying for perfect paint, so I got what I could out utilizing HD Polish with a tangerine pad on the Rupes and sealed it up with Opti-Seal. `Sonax Full Effect cleaned the wheels up and sealed those up with Opti-Seal as well. `On to the pics:

Here`s some pics of the paint condition. `It really didn`t seem too bad until I threw the work light on it. `Light swirling covering the vehicle which I later found out have been present ever since my uncle took delivery of the truck from the dealership. `Fortunately under normal lighting outside it didn`t look too terrible. `This is where I was really disappointed I ran out of time to get detailed after pics. `The HD Polish did a fantastic job of getting rid of everything except for the deeper RID`s.

He was absolutely thrilled when he picked it up. `Said it looked better than it ever has before and actually just text me today to let me know it`s been sitting in his garage since Saturday because he doesn`t want to get it dirty lol
