  • 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

    This Chevy diesel was recently purchased by my client for use as a plow truck.

    It has 116k miles and was in decent shape.

    I completed the exterior, then one week later did the interior.

    I removed all garbage, rubber/plastic inserts, and items from the interior.
    The carpets recieved a dry brush and vac.
    All interior surfaces, carpet, and door jambs were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, terry towels, and various brushes.

    All door jambs were sealed with Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax.
    All clear plastic recieved a #18 - Clear Plastic Detailer treatment.
    Glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.
    The vinyl was dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.
    The leather was dressed with Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner/ Conditoner.
    All vents and crevices were brushed out with a paintbrush.
    All rubber/plastic inserts were washed with Shampoo Plus.













































    Exterior befores:

    The goal was to make the paint white again.






    The wheels, tires, wells, and bed were all sprayed down with Wheel Brightener, Super Degreaser, and All Purpose Cleaner.

    They were left to dwell for several minutes, I then foamed them up with some cheap OTC TW car wash in my foam gun, agitated with various brushes, then rinsed.








    The complete exterior was foamed with seven oz of Super Soap and then hand washed, rinsed, then dried.








    The exterior was clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) & Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.
    I did a one step polish with #205 - Ultra Finishing Polish using several 5.5" white LC pads and my G110.
    I sealed the paint with #21 - Synthetic Sealant 2.0
    Tires and wells dressed with All Season Dressing.
    The wheels ad chrome were sealed by hand with #20 - Polymer Sealant.
    All trim dressed with Ultimate Protectant

    I pulled a lot of dirt out of the paint, this LC white pad used to be white.






    Afters:



    That is not tar on the lower fender but missing paint.

          Great work as always. Nick, in your opinion if terms of longevity, what lasts longer, M21 or NXT 2.0 wax?

                Thank you.

                If I had to pick one, it would be M21 2.0.

                    Looks good! A crew cab 6.5' bed plow truck, though? Seems awfully big to get into tight spaces with if you needed to.

                    I keep hoping GM will come out with a single/regular cab, 5'8" short bed 2500HD, as I think that would make a perfect truck to mount a plow on the front of, and salter on the back.
