Presidential Detailed: 2004 Chevy Avalanche

[PresdntialDtail]

After detailing Tim's RX-8, he brought me his mothers Chevy Avalanche. Not only was it in for a full exterior detail, I also had to remove the nearly disintegrated pin striping from the truck. Overall, the truck wasnt in that bad of shape, it was just BIG and dirty! Everything went well until my buffer broke in the middle of the detail! I wanted to get a new one anyways, and heres a good excuse right??

I ended up buying one from slim and jims, they seem to be the only ones to carry a buffer at all! Speaking of which, would you like to buy mine? I found a slightly used one with a TON of goodies for a little more than i paid for mine. Give me a call if your interested!
