...Dreaming on an E92....
First up, the Sierra. This was for my brother-in-laws boss, I don't think I'll ever understand why he bought a black vehicle for work...
It was in more or less good shape, just covered in dirt. I feared that the paint would be rough and swirled to hell but after a good washing it was in much better shape than I thought. No interior shots, but it was equally as bad as the exterior and cleaned up to about 95% of what I expected. I'll be back for a wash/wax on it in a couple week and I'll snap some interior shots then.
Paint:
Wash, clayed at the same time w/ Golden Gate North Clay
Optimum Hyper Compound mixed 60/40 with P&S Ultracoat Polish via Green Edge pad @ 1600 RPM's
Presta Swirl Remover via Blue Edge pad @ 1400 RPM's
Natty's Blue X1
Paint Gloss for final inspection
Wheels/Tires/Frame/Undercarraige & various trim:
Soaked with Simple Green 3:1 for 10 minutes, scrubbed with Megs Wheel/Tire brush
P&S Wipe N Shine on tires
P&S Shine-All in wells, X2 on frame
Wipe N Shine and Solutions Plus Spray N Shine on various trim pieces, bumper caps, etc
Just a quick before and a couple afters...
Next up, my cousins '00 Expedition esteiror detail. He's a painter, yet he decided to remove the stock pinstripe with a razor blade and some water/soap solution. Needless to say it did some damage that I was able to hide but that's about it. On top of that, he let his boss borrow the truck for a Reno trip, came back with the truck covered in mud and washed it by hand without attmepting to blast off any excess mud. End reuslt: One ****** up finish. We were really pressed for time on this one and it didn't come out to my full expectation so I offered him a free polish/wax before summer is over.

Wipe N Shine on Tires, Multi-Dress in wells/Frame, Spray N Shine in various areas...
I also got a speeding ticket while delivering it back to him. I had plans to leave for a camping trip at 2, we finished about 1:20. ended up with a 53 in a 35. Cop didn't buy the "I didn't know the speedo was off" excuse, now I get to go to traffic court on my 19th birthday, SWEET!
