My Truck: Cleaned - Glazed - Waxed

I've been crazy short on time lately so I kind of broke the cleanup of the truck up over a few days. I know its not a camaro, but I feel like pic whoring

Saturday Night:
  • Vacuum'd the interior our using the Vac N' Blo 500
  • Pulled the matts, cleaned carpets using Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and Carpet Brush
  • Cleaned the seats using light Misting of Carepet & Upholstery Cleaner and Edgeless Utility Towel
  • Cleaned the rest of the Interior w/ Leather & Interior Cleaner then dressed with Leather & Interior Conditioner on the Red Foam App
  • Glass All Cleaned with Glass Cleaner and the NEW Green Glass Towel

Sunday Morning:
  • Wheels Cleaned w/ APC and Green Wheel Cleaner
  • Boars Hair Brush, Power-stick, and Fender Brush
  • Quick Wash w/ Adam's Car Wash, 2 Buckets Grit Guards, & Foam Gun
  • Dried with Great White Drying Towel and Waterless Wash as Drying Agent
  • Went back and blew out trim and crevices with Blaster Sidekick
  • Clayed and Sealed Glass
  • Tires and trim Dress w/ Super VRT and various apps.

Monday Afternoon:
  • Full Waterless Wash wipe down w/ 8 Waterless Towels
  • Brilliant Glaze applied with the PC and gray pad
  • Removed with Single Soft Towels
  • Hand Applied a coat of Americana
  • Removed with Double Soft Towel

Paints far from flawless as I still need to do a full correction on it for the season, but I'm hesitant to do so before I get the paint fixed on the drivers door. Anyways... had a couple of minutes to kill while waiting for Tanner to get out of preschool, so snapped some shots. Enjoy the pictures!

looks awesome. love the wheels and the grill blacked out.

one day, when i have to work less and my kids are old enough to do the cleaning I will get another black car. Was a slave to black for 10 years with 3 different cars. IMO nothing looks better when its clean, but its rarely clean when you live in the North East like I do. (although I think my new Dark Blue ride isnt going to be much easier to keep than black)

BTW - just placed an order for more stuff. need to the keep the new ride looking good. (asked for a sub of one item if possible).

Again, looks great!

Looks sweet. I have a black 2007 Avalanche and love it. Did you use anything special on the strips on the door or just the same procedure as the rest of the car? Are yours painted, I think mine are a slightly different material.

Mine are painted so they are treated the same as the rest of the truck.

If yours are the textured black plastic (like the bed cladding) then our Super VRT is what you'd use on them.
