This beast belongs to the same lady I did the silver slk 230 I posted a few weeks ago. Since then I have fretted about doing this hummer... especially after seeing Ehuth1 detail and having 3 helpers and taking 3 hrs! Anyway, I talk to my new buddy last night and he helped calm me down... knocked some sense into me. Exterior is friggin HUGE... but the interior is no worse than a Tahoe.... so you take your good with the bad and deal with it. Started bout 8 in the morning and wrapped up 12:30. I only charged $140 and got a $60 tip!!!

Exterior:
Wash D2G special soap via Foam Cannon
LC Ulti-mitt via grit guard bucket
Clay RL medium duty, while washing
Dry Guzzles and Meg's WW drying towel

Paint got Liquid Souveran via UDM, black CCS sp. 2.5
LSP was LS Spray Wax
Trim got LS on it
Wheel wells AA tire foam
Tires RL exterior tire and trim dressing
Rims wiped down 50/50 PB spray&gloss;DP final gloss
Glass in/out SIG via WW mf

Very nice! The Hummer's exterior definitely don't look like it would be an easy detail. Nice tip!
 
oooooh....man that interior looks wicked :righton: always enjoy the work you do but man the interior always gets me.

Oh the two signature shots look wicked but I like the second one

Has that pro look to it...just my preference though that's all.

You did a wicked job...oh and you know what they say about large items, the bigger they are the harder they fall...well I've said it before but in this case the biger they are the better they look :righton: well done.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Dust2glory that is great work.

I have a stupid newbie question. What does RL stand for? I have searched and can't seem to find it.
 
That H2 is looking good! Love those "Random" shots.
 
you did a sweet job polishing out the wheels..
 
ur so lucky u didnt have to polish that car...im sure it woulda took u another 6 hours if u had to...

darn for $140 in n out...thats a heck of a deal...i woudlnt even charge that low for a civic....bump up the prices im sure ur well worth it
 
D2G that was a sweet turnaround. Those wheels looked like a PITA, but the outcome was pure bling*

Glad I could help ya, we just gotta get you some DG for D2G :)

Seems like I've seen this shot b4 !!

it's a secret Ralph Lauren detailing line... you have to get an invite to be able to buy the product

well buddy in my neck of the woods... people are cheap!!! and really don't care about their cars. Normally I would of charged $180 for a basic detail on this, but I wasn't getting any business cause people though I was too expensive. so i had to cut my prices to get some... I'm still the most expensive detailer in the area, but not by such a huge margin.

that's funny dude!! I cracked up when I saw that!! I promise I didn't try to copy your shot, it was just too good to pass up. I armor all'd the lower bumper to knock off some time and it worked really well... reaching that plastic fake chrome was a bit of a chore though
 
Everyone else, I appreciate you taking the time to look at my work and leaving your feed back!! You guys rock!!
