This customer was a referral from vette girl. He bought 2002 Tahoe with 70K miles used in October and had not had a chance to do much with it. Products used: Interior 303 Stoners Invisible Glass Jax Wax Dash vent Magic DG 221 Four Star Ultimate Leather Conditioner Floex Little green machine Exterior: CG citrus Pinnacle lube and clay DG 501 Sorry….. Sparkie and Al… I still love it as a bug and Tar remover :giggle: Black again SCG Absolutely perfect Polish WG total Swirl remover WG Finishing Glaze Klasse HGSG Two coats on that beast :headband: Wheels: P21S ARO CG VRP CG 265 Interior was in good shape, the leather had seen better days. He bought this used in October. Thank goodness for rubber floor mats :thumb: Cleaned with DG 221 and conditioned with 4 star. This was from the bottom to the driver’s seat. He bought it used and had not had a chance to clean it yet. A little something on the door :shrug: no problem :giggle: The carpets were in great shape!!! But I gave them the once over just in case. Since it was going to rain for several days I got started in the rain at nearly dark :shrug: Darn I didn’t get any before of the wheels :doh: But somehow I remembered the wheel wells :shred: Here is the monster before. See.... Sparkie and Jimmie 2 lights are up!!! One more to go :thumb: Bugs and pollen :gross: H had just got back from a road trip :shrug: Tar…. :sorry: Sorry…. Sparkie and AL… you know what I used :shrug: I can’t help myself :giggle: OMG Look!!!! He cleans the inside of his gas tank!!!! :thud: Ohhh…. Boy I get the feeling he is going to go over this vehicle with a fine tooth comb :thud: Chrome had been polished but someone didn’t’ get all the way to the trim :shrug: There much better :giggle: 50/50 shot 50/50 shot of the front The darn roof and the trenches. I did it by hand with Klasse AIO, then applied the sealant. What does everyone else do? I am not sure what this is but I didn’t do it!!!! I thought it was old wax but I could not get it off :shrug: The sun came out for a few hours and I was able to get this after polishing. Here is the end result after 2 coats of Klasse HGSG Darn camera I couldn’t get it to focus No over head lights on :thumb: Sorry…….. Ketil no outside distance shots for you. I has rained for the last 5 days here! He just left and gave me permission to post the pics. Boys…. Be nice the will be looking for this tread. :giggle: He was a great guy we talked shop for about 20 minutes. He had an EZ brush and told me ….oh yeah…you have to use it to get behind the face of the rims. I almost fell over :giggle: He even takes his rims off his BMW to clean and glaze them :thud: I told him about the two bucket method and grit guard, he loved it :headbang: He was telling me about a problem he was having with his boat seats and a few other areas. I told him about ARO and sent him home with a sample of DG 501 :headbang: Darn I forgot the engine pics here ya go :giggle:
Very nice turn around Tonay and I'm enjoying your write ups more and more :thumb: You asked about the roof, what I do is I just tape it off and polish just like the rest of the vehicle...you'll need to have a pad that is at least 5inch the biger it is the harder it is to polish the roof but that's just the way I do it. Hope this helps and sounds like the owner know a bit about detailing that's good.
great job tonya... you are very good with interior detailing.. love the way the exterior trims and chrome....
Girl you can use #501 anyway you want...Use what you like...Fantastic job....Love the reflections shots...:applause:
Nice job Tonya... It really is fun to read your posts and see the progress you have and continue to make... :headbang::headbang::applause:
Yep! He takes care of his cars and it shows:applause2: Yes you may :giggle: However I didn't really keep track. I didn't want to get discouraged since this thing was a beast :giggle: I did reduce my tape time down to 18 minutes from everyones suggestions. Plus... I stopped going around the vehicle...mmm say... 50 times with my Brinkman checking for tar and things. :rollinglaugh: Thanks! Thank you and you are welcome :giggle: Thank you! Thanks! Thank you! IMO the interior is what the customer see most. They don't notice the things that we do on the exterior. So I always do my best on the interior, just my opinion :shrug: Thanks. I really was not sure what to do. I just new there was no way I was using my PC on a ladder with those trenches :thud: That would have had disaster written all over it :doh: Thank you!
Hey Tonya, what machine are you using now to polish? DA? If so when are you steping up to the rotary?
