This Chevy Avalanche was in for a full exterior/interior detail. The engine was serviced as well. I also took the bed apart and did a complete degreasing & recon of the removable trim pieces & cleaned the bed itself. The jambs & shuts that lead into the cab from the bed were also treated.
The Avalanche is owned by a construction & development company in northern Illinois, depending on how this job went It was very possible I would have the chance to service many more vehicles for the President of this company. So this one had to be done 100% right.
Interior before:
Vacumm.
Vinyl cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner & hot water mix.
Carpets shampooed with 3D Carpet Shampoo.
Plastics treated with Quik Interior Detailer.
Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
Removable vinyl inserts cleaned soaked with Dawn Power Clean.
HD POXY on painted trim.
3D Odor Eliminator applied to fabric & upholstery.
I wanted to again mention the Dawn Power Clean, I use it for cleaning & soaking nasty greasy interior pieces, tires, & undercarriages (cupholder inserts, etc) since a nice gentle car shampoo is not meant for this. Also I prefer to buy Dawn over other brand dish soaps since you can quickly and easily visit their website & enter the code on the bottle you purchased to donate $1 to saving wildlife. Doesnt cost you anything except maybe 30 seconds of your time.
After:
Exterior before:
All the pieces to the bed were removed as stated before, to be cleaned & dressed seperately.
Wash/Prep:
Truck bed swept & vacummed of loose debris.
Pressure Washed.
Foamed/washed with 3D Wash & Wax.
Tires, wells, truck bed, floor mats, & vinyl tops, degreased with 3D Yellow Degreaser 4:1.
Jambs degreased with 3D Orange Degreaser 4:1.
IronX
Clayed while washing.
Pressure wash.
Heres a few shots of the bed after the degreasing, which took forever. Prep time alone was just over 3.5 hrs. I had to do it outside too otherwise it wouldnt have came out as good.
It rained in the late afternoon after the degreasing process. Looks a lot better just after being properly cleaned:
The paint was beading from just the ONR clay lube solution & being contaminant free.
The next day I detailed the exterior,
Tar treated with Goof Off & Body Solvent.
LSP was HD POXY.
Roof & wheels got 2 coats of Opti-Seal.
Tires dressed with 3D Ultra Thick Protectant.
Wheel wells dressed with Hyper-Dressing 1:1.
Jambs washed witn ONR, hoses treated with 3D Trim Care Protectant.
The trim was a seperate process in its own.
The vinyl tops were reconditioned with 2 coats of All Season Dressing topped with 3D Ultra Thick Protectant. This was put on with a small paint roller. All the trim around & in the bed & compartments was dressed with All Season Dressing & a paintbrush.
Heres the vinyl top curing:
