Chevy Tahoe

So this is my car everybody. I was planning on letting it get as horrible as possible so that I could get some decent "before" pictures to use in a brochure for customers. It finally got to the point where I just couldn`t take it anymore so I did the detail. The Before pictures don`t show a very messed up car, at least not to the average person, however I think you guys can appreciate.
So yeah, took me a while, detailing SUVs sucks as we all know. However I blew apart my High Cut and Medium Cut pads, so I had to do this whole thing with a Light Cut and Polishing pad. Yea it took 6 hours just for the polishing. I think I am sick in the head. I had to get into some interesting positions in order to get to all the areas. My mood has greatly improved since I finished the car.

Process:
Megs NXT wash
Clay Magic clay and lube
Gold Class wash
SSR2.5 with Light Cut pad at 6!
SSR2 with Light Cut pad at 5
SSR1 with Polishing pad at 3 then up to 5
Megs Gold Class vinyl protectant on running boards
Black Magic tire dressing
Megs Trim Detailer on all exposed trim
Mothers Cleaner Wax on door jambs and sills

Here are the Befores don`t judge too harshly I beg of you

And now here is the fruits of my labor so to speak

There were some swirls that just refused to come out, I beleive that it is from not being able to use an aggressive enough pad. Just wait till my next order comes in and I am gonna annihilate every last inch of paint.
As always comments, questions and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for reading.

PS I thought I shrunk the pictures enough that it wouldn`t a seriously wide thread, if its too much of a pain the butt someone PM me and I will go back and shrink them MORE and then re-upload them to photobucket AND THEN (sigh) repost them in the thread.
