  • 2010 GMC Sierra Z-71

    2010 GMC Sierra, 6k miles.

    Client bought it a few months ago to use as a work truck.

    Client brought it to a local detail shop at the spur of the moment, they hacked up the interior and came close to ruining the plastic and vinyl with a greasy motor oil dressing.

    My client and I found this to be unacceptable for a new truck.

    Client asked me to come give the truck a basic detail early the next morning.

    I arrived at 5:30am the next morning.

    A few interior befores:






    Yes, they dressed the clear plastic. Along with the matte plastic piece.




    A few exterior befores.






    I gave the truck a nice bath with Ultimate Wash and Wax.

    Wheel, tires, and wells were cleaned with Deep Crystal Car Wash, All Purpose Cleaner, and various brushes.

    Bugs and tar were treated with soap and water and a bug sponge.










    I pulled it in the garage, and dried it with some WMs.

    I then made my way into the interior.

    I cleaned off the motor oil dressing with All Purpose Cleaner and cotton towels, the towels went from bright and white to a black film.

    The carpets were vac'd and lint rolled.

    The carpets were dry brushed and vac'd.

    The interior was dressed with Quik Interior Detailer and the glass got Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1 x2.

    The jambs were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner.












    The owner did not want the truck waxed or sealed.

    So I clayed it with Detailing Clay (Mild) and some #34 - Final Inspection, that was followed by an application of Ultimate Quik Wax to the paint, chrome, and exterior trim.

    Tires and wells were dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.

    Nice work again Nick. Trust me....I WILL come up with some other "comment (s)" for your efforts on these vehicles. Just give me some time...I'm thinking that I may have one on the tip of my tongue.

    But for now....

          Thanks Tracy.

          I had to liberally spray the APC on the surface several times.

          Thank you sir,

          The owner does not keep vehicles longer than one or two years so it really does not matter to him.

            Yuck, that was a greasy dressing. I hate when those el-cheapo car washers apply that kind of junk. Shiny yes, but it doesn't mean that it looks good ! You did a great job removing it for sure.
            I also like to dress the interiors with quick interior detailer. It always give that mate new look that I like.

            And nice improvment on the exterior too.

              That is how a black truck should look. Glad that junk protectorant was removed. Looks so much better now. The truck looks great as always, Nick. Great work.

                Wow, that looks amazing even without wax! And good job on cleaning up that hack job...some people find greasier the better...I like to keep it looking somewhat satin.

                  Nice job once again.

                  Nick, did you notice anything that stuck out on the truck (good or bad). Being mine is the same except the box length, I'm just curious.

                  ie. hard to clean interior (seats), certain products that worked well or didn't.

                  Funny on "TRUCKS" on Speed channel the guys said the grill was ugly and then they covered it with some chrome clip on. I personally really like the grill and front end on the GMC, much more than the Chevy truck. When it's clean I think it looks very good. I wouldn't cover it up personally.

                    Beautiful results Nick. That dash went from OMG to factory fresh, great save.

                    Pimp-shiny dashes are so 1988.

                    When I saw the title I was thinking we might be seeing a new Nick-mobile!

                        Looks Great! Interior looks much better.

                        Interesting how the owner de-badged the rear and added Chevy Rims.
