2007 GMC Yukon XL - BLACK (hardest/longest detail)

Heh, nope. What, no pinakbet? My mom brought back some ensaymada from a family friend (also flip). She was experimenting with cheddar cheese and ube...I just decided to go for the plain (good thing it wasn't drenched in butter and layered with sugar though!)

YUM

 

you guys are making me hungry with all this Filipino food talk!!
Neil, can't wait to see those pics man!!

 

That is a lot of black real estate!!

I just bought some halogens finally myself. Really can't wait to use them. Never really worked on a car with halogens blaring in the back ground!!

 

1200 watts is great... i think they are far superior to the ones that craftsman makes that sears sells for like $10 les....i think i paid 60? ..they have a GREEN model which is even taller and more powerful..i figure if im gonna spend 60..why not spend 80...so i think im gona exchange

i also got a small 500watt floor halogen to get 360 degrees of lighting...haha its great

anyways..sorry for the lagging...pix will be up i promise

i jus dropped it off at the airport...he said hes gona b here for a few days so i told him to come back so i can layer up some wax and get anything i missed...

g'nite...gotta save lives in the morning!

 

Finaly got the pix up...the car is gone, back in vegas...im tired as HECK - so this is my last activity for the day before i have to wake up at 430am to get ready for the Hospital!! haha

i hope you guys enjoy the pix...sorry for the lagging-ness, SOUND OFF! (by the way i didnt have time to hit it with any wax...jus 2 layers of js109, i dont think im missing much, but im sure it would look 'even better'...enjoy)

i got really anxious to see waht the car would look like after 106, so isntead of doign the WHOLE car with SIP, i did the hood with 106 before i did my final pass on the rest of the panels...check the difference between fender (ssr3) and the hood (106ff)


last pass with SIP + ORANGE...check the reflection....(when i finished 106, it was like "damn, it looked good wit SIP, but now...this is REAL GOOD")


after polishing with 106, u could imagine there was lots of DUST..so i hit it with CWG and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it for the last time (i didnt use any sponges or schmitts, i jus let the cwg do all the work) ...next on my list is a karcher and a foam cannon, id love for my cars to look like FMINUS's haha



applying JS109 via blue ccs




--------
ALAS, THE FINAL PIX (minor touching up here n there, but this is the general view...it was already some 6 or 7pm so i coudltn get any SUN pix...






-doesnt it look like a PAINTING of the TREE is embedded in that hood?!? - i was surprised to see that








FROM MY VANTAGE POINT...it looked really cool that i could see my own reflection, i tried capturing it, but my UNSTEADY hand and lack of proper photographing technique came out with this THIS

 

Incredible reflection shots. you must have been nearing the end of the detail in the reflection pic of you with the PC. Cuz you look way to happy to be working with black and not be almost done...

 

ya ive worked on a few black cars in my lifetime, but for some reason this was very rewarding...possibly going from something like this






...to the final product was pretty amazing. not to mention the amount of paint, the size of the car..the ONLY THING that i think mite make this better...was if there wasnt any damn orange peel, if i ever get bored enough ill experiment with wetsanding n buffing to perfection...but i must say, this morning when my buddy came back to drop off some $$$ i saw it in the sun and i couldnt do anything else but stare...he told me that the first thing he did when he got off the plane was look for his car...and he knew rite away where it was in the parking structure...

...tedius, and what better way to retire the PC on this car...MEtabo will be here in T-MINUS 2 days...then the real fun begins!

 

Stunning, just stunning! Love the reflections on the hood. Amazing! You did a great job, and jetseal looks good on it! Your the new PC MASTER!

 

DAYUM I love those outside shots, it looks like I could jump on that tree on the hood lol

 

LOoks damn good Neil.

 

:applause:

Excellent work!

 

Great work! It might take you a while to get used to the metabo, but don't give up.

 

so the owner says "i have a surprise for you, i really got excited when i saw my car so clean i had to do the final touches..." and this is hwat he sent me a picture of from his Verizon Voyager in a pix message....


damn, that stufff is gleamin...not to mention thos 26" rims (man i wish i had $$ to jus buy a set of wheels after every car of mine was detailed..haha)

he said " so when ur down here, i mite need a lil re-touch on the polish n wax to freshen it up"

....now that is a nice black truck!

(picture was taken in las veags...at a TERRIBLES gas station sometime late at nite...damn those lights reflecting loook soo good...hahah)
