2500 Denali HD meets Crystal Serum Light

Had this big girl come in for a full interior detail and ceramic coating.

Interior plastics and leather was cleaned up with McKee`s 37 total interior cleaner. Plastics were dressed up with McKee`s total interior protectant. Leather conditioned with Pinnacle leather conditioner. Vents and tight areas were hit with stoners aerosol trim shine. Interior glass cleaned with Stoners invisible glass. Carpets were in good shape thanks to full weather tech floor mats front and rear so I gave a good vac and spot cleaned as necessary. The mats were cleaned up with d101 and a stiff bristle brush.

Exterior was washed and then decontaminated with a nanoskin pad on the 3401 using Uber Rinseless wash mixed .5 oz to 32oz as a clay lube. Wheels cleaned up with D140. Tires hit with D101. I will say that these new trucks with the carpeted wheel wells are a PITA. I hit them with a stiff bristle brush and some d101 and hosed them out. They came good but not perfect. The paint was in good shape so I hit it with M205 on a orange boss pad on my g21 using the Kevin Brown Method as I moved along. The glass was polished with Wolfgang Perfekt Vision glass polish and my PC with a 3in polishing pad. Paint and glass were wiped off with Wolfgang Perfekt finish paint prep. Glass received Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating and the paint received Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. Jambs were finished wiped with McKee`s high gloss detail spray. Chrome was polished with McKee`s TV lineup chrome and aluminum polish. Tires dressed with hyper dressing.

Didn`t get any before pictures but here are the finish shots.

Thank you.

I currently have CSL on my GTO and this was the first customer car I used it on. Pretty easy to apply. Apply a few drops with the supplied dropper on the applicator pad then work a 2x2 area. Then its ready to wipe off almost immediately. Great gloss and the water beading doesn`t appear to fade away like I have experienced with PBL. I also topped it off with TAC Systems Quartz Max which is supposedly the original reload formula.
 
Nice work! How do you like the McKee`s TV lineup chrome and aluminum polish? My truck is simliar to this and I have been looking for something to polish the chrome with (door trimp, window trim, bumpers, door handles, etc).
 
Thank you.

They say the water behaviour of CSL isn`t great and to use exo v2 (and therefore offered as kit too). For how long (or washes) have you had CSL without any top ups ?

I have had it on roughly a month but the car stays garaged kept. I have done one traditional wash so far without any problems. I just recently topped it off with TAC Systems Quartz Max. I will be washing it again this week due to it being driven a bunch over the weekend.

A fellow detailer and acquaintance is a big Gtechniq user and usually tops CSL with C2v3(reload). I am using the quartz max for now because I already have it. May try C2v3 when I run out. But I really do like the quartz max.

Live heard the same. Makes for a pretty expensive project to purchase both coatings

thanks. so in the csl+ exo kit they say the exo makes up for the sub par beading of the CSL...does this cure instantly to where you could top it with the EXO ? im considering picking up this combo on the current sale actually
 
J, that truck looks sick. I love this shot:
