  • 2008 Chevy Silverado

    I did this truck today for my neighbor at a reduced price. Lately he has been helping me out with a lot of things so I offered to do his truck for a very low price. Started aound 8 am and finished up around twenty minutes ago. This truck had a lot of bonded contaminants and a lot of tar in the wheelwells. I have never clayed a vechile for this long. It was so bad I could actually see where I did and did not clay. I did the interior but I forgot to take pictures of that. I am keeping the truck overnight so I can add the last coat of wax in the morning and do the final inspection for any missed spots. Heres my process and pics:

    Process:

    1. Wash with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
    2. Clay with Smooth Surface Clay Kit and Last Touch Spray Detailer
    3. Remover Swirls and scratches with a combination of Ultimate Compound and SwirlX.

    4. COLORx
    5. NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0- x2 by tomorrow morning.

    Other Products Used:

    All Purpose Cleaner
    Natural Shine Vinyl & Rubber Protectant
    Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
    #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner
    Hot Rims Chrome Polish
    Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Gel


    Befores:










    Afters:








































    Still some light swirls left that I could have gotten out but the owner told me just to move on.




















    While were on the topic of Silverados, yesterday i got to finally clean my truck. It hasnt been touched in three weeks. All igot a chance to use was wash it with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner, spray wax it with Ultimate Quik Wax and throw some Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Gel on the tires.

          Great work. You made your neighbors dull neglected paint really pop. Huge improvement. Great work.

                    Nice work Tuck. Are you doing this by hand or with a machine?

                          Jeez, I can't even imagine that. And in one day, no less? Hats off to you. The last time I did a multistep polish on a car I was about 17 years old. I stepped back, admired what a good job I did, and said to myself, "never again."

                            I kept the truck overnight, so I had it for a day and a half.
