A Chevy 2500HD driven through the woods.

Yep, that's right. This guy drove this truck through the woods many times. Now it was my turn to bring it back to life. Sorry for the lack of good exterior before pics, but a lack of time made me rush the pics. The interior looks a lot better than it seems as it was caked with mud all over the floormats! The truck took two days and about 14 hours with my partner. The car had lots'o swirls and all over the car were very, very fine scratches (probably from the trees in the woods). This is probably my 5th car with the PC, and my ability to remove swirls with SFX-1 has greatly improved! The whole polishing process just takes too long! Here was my process:



Exterior

Wash with Sonus Gloss shampoo

Sonus Clay bar while washing

SFX-1 with orange pad (PC)

SFX-2 with green pad (PC)

AIO by hand

P21S by hand

AIO on the windows

303 Protectant on the plastic trim

Autoglym tire dressing for the tires

Wheels cleaned with the "improved" Eagle One wheel cleaner



Interior

Steam clean floor mats

vacuum dust and dirt

Sonus leather cleaner on leather and vinyl

Sonus Total Eclipse on vinyl and plastics

Sonus Leather conditioner on leather

Prestone carpet cleaner on carpets (I feel it works better than 303 Upholstery cleaner)

While I was detailing the truck, my neighbor's uninvited guest came around the house. It a jumped onto my partner's roof, which was pretty scary (because of the scratches it's feet could cause). No scratches were made, thankfully.

The seats didn't seem to change much from the picture, but my yellow applicator turned black after cleaning these seats!

This was the scratch on top of the "silverado" emblem on the tailgate. The PC just couldn't improve it by a whole lot.
