Hey guys. Where I work, we have 2 company vans.
1. 2003 Chevrolet Express 2500 (236,000 miles) Maybe washed 3 times total?? (Weird brown metallic color??)
2. 2010 Chevrolet Express 2500 (50,800 miles) Taken through the Drive Thru on weekly basis. (White)
As you can see, these vans, especially the older one, have been very neglected. When my boss bought the "new to us" 2010 van, I immediately encouraged him to get a yearly pass to the local car wash in order to keep that thing looking good (top of the line wash). I did not want this newer van to go down the same path as the older one did (neither did he). If you really want to hear more about this story, inbox me.
What I plan on telling my boss is to send me down to the local auto store with the credit card and I will buy the products we need to keep these vans looking good, and more importantly making them last longer.
My question for you guys is, would you take a special approach when tackling these 2 vans? I know they will need to be clayed as a start. I am NOT looking to remove swirls. What I would like to achieve is just to "clean" the paint, enhance the gloss a bit, and get some protection on it.
So which products guys?
1. Clay of course..
2. Cleaner Wax maybe? Is there maybe a better option as far as the cleaning step goes? (Must be available to the consumer please)
3. Ultimate Polish? (to revive the color, especially on ol faithful with 236k miles.)
4. Ultimate Wax?
Again, I am not going for a swirl free finish by any means. I plan on waxing these 2 vans on a regular basis now as long as this all works out. I have a GG6 D/A which I will be using on these vans.
