First of all, sorry for no befores and the dark afters. Got this truck last night and of course had to detail it even though it was dark.
It was in bad shape, has sweet wheels but not sure they have been taken care of since purchase. Wheels were stained, pitted, caked on brake dust, it was very sad! :mad:
Paint was completely absent of any kind of wax, owner drove it through car washes and got the spray wax option on occasion!:(
So I decided this was going to require the PC and some XMT.

Washed- with DP Xtreme Foam
Prepped- with PC and XMT 360 (this stuff brought the truck back to life)
Waxed- with XMT 180, it smells great, looks great and I applied with the PC.
Buffed- off by hand with an indigo.
Wheels- this was a whole new story. I have to say I would always go right to the Wenol then top with DP Wheel Glaze. Low and behold no Wenol in the cabinet. So I grabbed the samples I had brought home of the new Wolfgang product we have. I cannot find the words to tell you the wonders this product did for these wheels. I was completely astonished!!! :applause:
I have to admit, I was even shocked of the difference.

So here we have it, this is a new gas hog to add to my driveway. Sorry pics aren’t great but couldn’t get any last night so I had to take them as I left this morning.

A few things I learned while detailing this... one a boars hair brush with a handle is my friend on these big SUVs.
... XMT line is nothing short of amazing.
... I have a new found appreciation for Metal
... People who did not take care of their vehicles should be spanked!:)
... Polishing Pal works great on bigger wheels
... and most important thing, I still hate doing windows!:p

I am a boars hair brush and microfiber girl! Without the brush on the handle I could not reach most of the truck! Remember Meghan is only 5'2":D
 
Triple take !! That SUV is huge and looks great! Love the wheels and color Meghan. I know all about bringing some abused wheels back to life and those look great from your pre-description.

So you brushed the whole vehicle.... Thats what I'm talking about :)

If you know your going to correct the paint why not, right !

Now we are going to get you some AA tire foam and let you coat those wells;)

It's amazing that a promoter/employee can actually do a write up + prove and back up with results, AG is truly one of a kind.

Thanks for this Meghan, I'm going to show my woman that she can too detail her own ride and be a AG :D

Pounce he did! Yes that is the Expedition in the rear... cant let go of it just yet!:o
 
Wheel wells look kinda dry !!!!!!

Other than that Heck of Job Meghan !!!
 
Adam Brooks...as far as directional tread, yes the tires are going the wrong way. On the other hand the wheels as you stated can rotate either direction. And that guy is a gal :)

it does look like that doesn't it... meghan you might wanna check that out. And i have to agree with EHUTH1... dress those wheel wells. Other than that you did an awesome job. especially for being 5'2, i couldn't imagine being that tall and detailing a huge SUV like that. Much, much respect to the lady!!:D

Lol, I was gonna reply with a "So much for gas mileage with 2 SUV's!"

But then again AG is doin pretty good ;)

Looks great for being an old Surburby. My family use to have a brown one back in the 90's, very good truck.
