  • 2003 Chevy Silverado Quadrasteer

    2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 Quadrasteer

    Work truck from a heating company.

    You usually do not see too many Quadrasteer models around, here in IL at least. I do like this trim package on the older trucks and it seems to have aged well.

    The turning radius is nice as well, good for someone who tows fairly often. Pretty neat truck inside & out.

    This was a full exterior/interior detail.

    Some befores:











    Wash/prep:

    Complete pressure wash.
    Tires, wells, mats, & bed soaked in Purple Power 1:1.
    Jambs soaked with 3D Orange Degreaser.
    Interior rubber inserts removed and left to soak in Dawn odor removal soap.
    Wheels soaked with Wheel Brightener.
    Foamed/washed with NXT Generation Car Wash.
    Clay while washing.
    IronX decontamination.

    During:



    The moldings are shot but I was able to pull a lot of topical gunk out of them still:





































    Interior.

    Did the interior the following morning.

    Vac/dry brush/vac.
    Vinyl/plastic cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner & hot water mix.
    Carpets/upholstery shampooed with 3D Carpet Shampoo.
    Vinyl/plastic dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.
    Jambs washed with ONR & Tarminator.
    Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
    Poorboys Leather air freshener sprayed throughout the cab.

    Some foaming deck cleaner ate the dye off some sections off the carpet several years ago, only in the back part of the extended cab though.

    After:

























    Exterior.

    The paint was in decent shape for an eight year old truck. The owner wanted something to make the paint pop.

    The paint was already looking really good after the wash/decon. So I cleaned the paint and put on an LSP.

    Polished/waxed with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) via PCXP.
    Sealed with Opti Seal by hand.
    Tar treated with Tarminator.
    Tires/wells dressed with Hyper-Dressing 2:1.
    Exterior trim dressed with All Season Dressing.
    Chrome polished with Mothers chrome polish.

    I broke one of the windshield wipers during the wash so I replaced that, partially my fault since I tried to fix how loose it was initially.

    I could not stop taking pictures of this truck, even in the intense heat.

    After:
