    Re: 1999 Tahoe -> CarPro Essence + Cquartz TiO2 + Gliss

    The Guz- Huh, he could do the lower cushion`s leather without doing the foam, huh? My leather is, uhm..compromised...but hasn`t gotten worse and if/when I have it done I`m replacing the foam too (already have that). and yeah, I hear you on the carpet..mine`s light gray, and well....though actually it`s more worn than soiled.

    How`re its brake drums? I can`t stand to see rusty ones, replaced mine and used black caliper paint on the new ones.

    Apparently so because he did it haha. He ended up just buying the leather cover on ebay and it`s a good match to OEM. He just picked up some Lloyd mats to go in the interior to cover what we could not get out.

    Rust is not that big of an issue here. It is Southern California after all. We talked about painting them and calipers black but he is not sure if he wants to invest the time into that. He wants to fix the headliner.

    He also bought a brand new third brake light to replace the original one that no longer worked.

    The Guz- Yeah, I need that HCMBL too, mine works but is awfully, uhm...patinated.

    Heh heh, your "southern CA" Tahoe is rustier than my Ohio-winter one! Eh, sorry..not braggin`, just that the rust on that rear barn door would drive me nuts. I caught mine *JUST* in time and (fingers crossed!) it`s staying fixed. Replacing doors on those things is a PIA what with the required welding.

    The Tahoe is officially gone. Guy from San Diego took a 3 hour train ride to get it and a 2 hour drive home.

    My bro sold it for $9500

    I’m sure your hard work had a lot to do with the sale price! Guessing the buyer had seen plenty of other trucks that were in nowhere near as nice of shape...

    Apparently this guy has been looking for 2 years for one in good shape. He contacted my brother as soon as he saw it listed.

    Ever see the M&M Christmas commercial where the M&Ms run into Santa?

    Red M&M: “He does exist!”
    Santa: “They do exist!”
    *Red M&M and Santa pass out and fall backwards*

    I imagine it went like that for the buyer when he saw how clean your Brother’s truck was.

    Uhm... [expletive expletive expletive] he got a bundle for it! But, but...but it even has rust! It has other needs! (Sure not knocking the work you did on it.) I`m speechless...if my wife saw that she`d put mine on ebaymotors or BAT or something..
