2010 GMC Sierra Z71 with 23k miles.
Client uses it as a work truck.
Its been six months since I have applied or did anything to the paint.
Just a basic detail and cleanup during the winter.
Truck has some mild marring & RIDS but thats expected for a work truck, plus this is not a correction type detail.
Before:
Started out by blasting the bed of the truck with water, followed by the wheels, tires, wells, and then finally the body.
I sprayed all lower panels with All Purpose Cleaner 4:1 and let it dwell on the dirt/mud.
The wheels, tires, & wells were prepped with All Purpose Cleaner & Super Degreaser and let to dwell for several minutes.
The bed, wheels, tires, & wells were foamed with a combination of Deep Crystal Car Wash & 3D Wash & Wax.
Various brushes were used for agitation, then rinsed.
The body of the truck was foamed with:
Super Soap - 5oz.
3D Wash & Wax - 2oz.
ONR - 2oz.
The truck was handwashed with Meguiars wash mitts and a yellow bone sponge in some other areas.
Rinsed clean.
The engine bay and painted shuts were wiped down with a spray bottle of diluted ONR and microfiber cloths.
Carpet and upholstery was given a dry brush & vacumm.
The complete interior was given a dampened cloth ONR wipedown & and an application of Quik Interior Detailer.
The jambs were given an ONR wipe down as well.
Glass recieved Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1 using terry towels.
Rubber mats were washed with 3D Wash & Wax via paintbrush.
The truck needed some light prepping before applying any protection.
The paint & chrome was clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) & ONR at clay lube dilution.
Stoners Tarminator & an old plastic card was used to remove some yellow paint from the painted surfaces underneath the doors & rear fenders.
The paint was given a one step with:
#205 - Ultra Finishing Polish /PC/LC 5.5' white/S5 - Hood only.
#66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) /PC/LC 5.5" green/ S5.
The paint & all chrome was then waxed/sealed with HD Poxy.
Tires/wells dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.
Bedliner/toolbox recieved an All Purpose Cleaner & ONR wipedown.
Gas pump hose recieved several applications of All Season Dressing.
Tailgate shuts were given a thorough ONR wipedown.
The bed is still drying out in the photos as well, no dressing applied either.
