  • 2008 Chevy Silverado Z-71

    2008 Chevy Silverado, 33k miles.

    The truck was given a fairly basic detail.

    Client was mainly concerned with getting all the mud off the truck and clean up the interior.

    Before:










    I started off by giving the exterior a complete pressure wash.

    I cleaned the wheels, tires, and wells with Super Degreaser, Deep Crystal Car Wash, and various brushes. I foamed them up with DC in my foam gun as well.

    I did a foam gun wash of the exterior with 3oz of NXT Generation Car Wash and 3oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner in my foam gun.

    I then dried the truck with several WMs.

    I pressure washed the jambs during the wash.

    I then started on the interior.

    I did a dry brush and vac, then did some spot cleaning with All Purpose Cleaner on the seats and carpet.

    I cleaned all interior surfaces with All Purpose Cleaner and dressed them with Quik Interior Detailer.

    The windows were cleaned inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    The jambs were cleaned last with All Purpose Cleaner & Last Touch Spray Detailer.

    All vents and crevices were brushed out.
















    I gave the exterior a light claying with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.

    I then applied some #20 - Polymer Sealant with my PC.

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

    All trim was dressed with Ultimate Protectant.

      I agree with Aris, nothing short of excellent! So did this guy drive all the way from Indiana to a detail from you? (Sorry don't know what part of Ill you're from!)

        But there are far better detailers than me out there.

        Thank you sir.

        He bought the truck in Indiana and has a house out there I believe.

        He lives here in IL though.

                  Nice one Nick! Yet another wonderful job on another nice truck. Seems you been doing a lot of these new Sierras, Silverados, Yukons, Suburbans, etc.

                        Re: 2008 Chevy Silverado

                        The detail seems to turn out very good

                        Got one question about "All Purpose Cleaner", how do you use it, just spray on and use a towel or a brush? Or is it important to use some water after to prevent signs of the APC?

                        Regards!

                            Thanks.

                            Depends on what I am using the APC on.

                            If I am cleaning tires I spray it on and agitate with a brush dipped in car wash soap and water, then rinse.

                            If I am cleaning the interior I usually use a terry or cotton cloth.

                            Usually after I APC a surface I go over it with some dressing.

                            Hope this helps.
