Latest detailsâ„¢ v. Tahoe, nasty Expidtion interior and more Ferrari pics
- Thread starter Scottwax

2005 Chevy Tahoe. Brand new, about 2000 miles on it. Excellent condition. Klasse AIO with a Meguiars polishing pad and Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett (JWAJ?) by hand.
Real cool paint, flips from blue to purple depending on how the light hits it.
=========================
Tried out Optimum Tire Shine on my car. Pretty nice stuff, maybe a touch more gloss than Armor All. Slightly thicker so less overspray when applying to the fenderwells. Took pic one day after application of the Tire Shine and Optimum Car Wax.
===================
I detailed the exterior of this ML430 back on May 9th, using Poorboy's SSR2 and topping with Meguiars NXT Tech Paste Wax, applied via PC and a blue Propel finishing pad.
Took these pics today, August 3rd. I conventionally wash this car, usually with Meguiars Gold Class twice a month and he runs it through a local tunnel wash the off weeks. Seems to be holding up pretty well, bead still run down the hood and the towels still glide nicely over the paint when drying.

2000 Ford Expidition. I dread her calls but usually her neighbor sees me over there and also schedules an appointment for her much cleaner cars.
I didn't take any pics prior to vacuuming, but it took me nearly 1 full hour to vacuum it out. Tons of debris, dog hair, etc.
Some before and after comparisons after cleaning only (Woolite/water), no dressing.
Finished interior shots, dressed with Armor All. Didn't do the exterior.

Awesome work Scott. :bow
That Ferrari is drop dead gorgeous! Great work on it! Did you get to drive it around the driveway ? Sad thing is the amount of OP on it 
.
Did you try out the new build of the Opt Tire Dressing?
May I suggest Folex for the interior carpeting? Not knocking your regimen, just saying that I have had outstanding results with Folex.

Fantastic work as always! I did the exact same Tahoe (color) last week. Just like a mini beast, I hated doing the roof. I second Folex also. I used it on my last two details and It is great stuff. Works great if your not doing a complete carpet cleaning and you just have a little spot here or there, just hit it with folex and walk away. Done that with the house carpet
I've tried Folex, it works pretty well. The problem with this Expidition is they completely trash it. I guarantee when she calls me 6 months from now it will be completely trashed and they won't have vacuumed it once. She even told me when I mentioned to her that if they vacuum it weekly the debris won't build up like it does...and she said "that's what you are for".
I am completely serious when I say these are some truly dirty people. I cleaned out my vacuum today and took out two huge handfuls of dog hair and there was close to an inch of trash, debris, gravel, etc in the bottom of the vac-and I had cleaned it out before I went there. Point is, nothing is going to bring this Expidition back to perfect. Some of the stains have been there probably since it was nearly new, and it was more than a year old and trashed the first time I cleaned it.

I'd give my pads up to detail a Ferrari. How'd you handled the air ducts, must've been a but of a pain.
Great job again on the details.
