Lifted Hummer H2

[DRT BRD]

Future brother in laws roommate came to me wanting to see what I could do for some scratches down the passenger side he aquired while toying around off road along with giving the entire thing a good cleaning/dressing/paint correction/wax. The only thing he did not want done were the carpets extracted due to time constraint so I'll be hitting those up once I return from my vacation. The exterior trim was the worst part as it needed to be dressed 3 separate times to actually take the color it looks like in the finished pics. And to top it off...there was ALOT of trim.

Wash w/ Chemical Guys Citrus Clear
Clayed w/ Speedy prep towel
D300 w/ Meguiars MF cutting disk on the long scratches down the side.
D151 w/ Optimum Polishing disk for the rest.
Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Gel 5:1
Meguiars APC and Super Degreaser w/various brushes and lots of elbow grease.
Meguiars M39
Meguiars Trim coating
ShowRoom FX White Pearl on the rubber
Meguiars quick interior detailer on the interior.
Meguiars D180 on the leather.
Perfect Clarity on all glass.

Wayneezy, Meguiars APC and Super Degreaser w/various brushes and lots of elbow grease.

Usually will use a combination of the two above depending on what's working and dillution ratios. It takes some playing with but I used 4:1 APC and 5:1 Super Degreaser. Spray, let dwell, agitate, rinse and repeat if necessary.

Great job, the trim really turned out great.

I agree! It took a couple of applications but it finally took and stayed that way. That was his absolute favorite part of the detail.

It was definitely work! He had some other guys take care of it before but I think that has changed since he has come back 4 times now. Thanks, I use a wide variety but I have my go to's and most of them are listed above!

Very cute truck I love it.

I think you mean what a MANLY truck! haha kidding, Meghan! Thank you!
