Platinum Package Detail Chevy Silverado Diesel

[DP 08 GXP]

I got my first customer that went with my platinum package detail which involves a 3 step polishing process. The truck gets used at truck pulls and seems like a pretty damn fast truck. The interior was pretty well kept up, just had a few stains. The exterior was in rough shape. He said he clayed it but I pulled off a lot of contamination. The paint also needed some help. He said he did a glaze by hand to polish which also led me to believe we had different definitions of polishing. He also said he used a 3M Scotch Brite pad on the running boards. As you can see in the pictures below it did a number on them. He said to not worry about them but I couldn't put that much time into the paint only to leave the boards looking like hell so I gave them a quick polish and brought a little shine back to them. The paint is pretty damn close to perfect minus the scratches that would require them to be wet sanded. Enjoy

Thanks. I was expecting a little more enthusiasm but maybe he just has a laid back personality.

Wow Great job! I'm gonna be doing a full size truck soon. I'm curious on how many hours do you have in a job that size and how much did you charge?

This truck took me around 12 hours total time. The interior saved me about an hour with the condition that it arrive in. I charged $270 for the detail.
