So after a bit of a hiatus from posting anything worthwhile I thought I’d post a fun little detail from today.
I’ve been professionally camped out at a local paving/landscaping/plowing/timber-processing firewood/farm lately as they have been really keeping me busy with their Rigs, Equipment, Personal Vehicles, and so on. It seems every day I show up to work, I literally I find a list of additional vehicles they would like me to work on (now their friends are getting in on the action). Overall I am super-pumped, but the working conditions are a far cry from my dustless, UFO-light-style setup. In addition to adjusting to conditions, I haven’t been mobile in a long time (at least to this level) and I have to drive back to my shop now and again for somethings I didn’t think I’d need.
Well, onto the detail. With a little less than a 6 hour window for the work to be completed, this was setup as a 3-Piece Package from my menu in hope of breathing some fresh life into a work truck. Yep, with a build date of 10/01, this Escalade has spent almost its entire life as farm truck. The goal was to knock down the dirt (in and out), restore some shine, and protect. The work is nowhere near my standards, but I was happy with the turn around, given the time window and condition I received it in.
Process:
Exterior- Pre-pressure wash, SCGRTGD everywhere, Foam Gun with TOL Bubble Bath/ sheepskin mitt and Mother’s Body Brush, Zaino Clay, D151 via Flex and LC White Pad, OSW.
Wheels and Arches- PB Spray and Rinse, Mother’s Tire Brush, EZ Wheel Brush, Griots Undercarriage Spray, and Meg’s Hot Shine.
Trim- PB Natural Look
Interior- Vacuum, TOL APC cleanse on all surfaces via MF
Windows- DeSantis GLD
Time- 5.25 hours
