Default [Detailed] 1999 Tahoe - Light clean up.

1999 Tahoe.
167,930 miles on the clock.
It's probably been repainted as it is in very nice condition.

It just needed a little cleaning so...

Exterior got -
Wash with QEW.
Dry with WW towel.
Polish left side with Poorboys SSR1 on a Green Propel P2 pad with the PC.
Polish remaining vehicle with same except using my new Hitachi rotary as I need the practice.
50/50 IPA wipedown.
Zaino Z2 (x1, not ZFX'ed) removed with Z6.

Interior got -
Triple 7 APC (10:1) wipedown on plastic trim and leather seats using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as required.
Vac.
Plastic trim got 303.
Leather seats got Poorboys Leather Stuff.
A touch of Fabreeze in the aft cargo section.
The glass got Stoner Invisible Glass in the pump.
The tires got Meguiars High Endurance gel.
Wheel wells got "No Touch".


Before.


Afters.

Not a great sun shot, but I tried.



Gratuatis flake shot.


Turned around to check for buffer trails.

Thank you for your kind words and vote of confidence.

I'm in Georgia.
If you are looking for a good detailer check out Autopia.org
Post up in one of the "regional" sections. When you get a response, check to see how many posts they have started with actually doing the detailing work. (Sort of like a referance if you will)

I'll poke around on Autopia and see if I recognize anyone from your area.

Best of luck.

Thanks man I'll try that. I have a red stang and just want it mirror reflective/wet look. Your closer than the other guy I wanted to take meprevious vehicle to. Here ispic of his truck. He owns a detail shop on So-Cal. I don't have the time to get that detailed, nor do I have the equipment.
