Rasky's AD: GMC Denali complete detail

[RaskyR1]

This is the 5th vehicle I have done for this owner now and this is actually the wife’s ride. Overall it wasn’t too bad. The exterior was average with only light to moderate scratching. We decided on a 1-step polish since it is a daily driver and white in color. Having kids the interior was a little dirty but still not that bad. The front drivers carpet had some areas of rock hard salt build up….I hate cleaning these spots! I was happy with the over all outcome.

Nice job! It still amazes me that some people could give a crap about their cars. Like the back seat. If someone I knew, put foot prints on the back of the seat, I'd bit*h slap them. How has the bissel been holding up? I've thought about getting it, but I love that aztec extractor.

There were two baby seats in the truck when I picked it up, along with tons of crap inside! We emptied 3 boxes worth of crap out of the vehicle. The owner is in Hawii and just gave me the garage code to pick it up. There was alos cash like that wadd in 2 other places!!!


The LGM has been going strong for 2 years now! I'm just a part time guy so it does what I need it to. I would love a Mytee though! :cheers:

Amazing job on the interior, the white paint is hard show off in pictures, but I'm sure its just as good as the inside.

Rasky, that is incredible work!!! The outside looks amazing, and the inside just turned a total 360*. Also, i noticed how well cleaned and black the wheel wells looked( what did you use for those?, because i think nothing makes a clean car with clean wheels looks worse than an unclean wheel well

Great job. Zaino does a decent job on white vehicles.

The before interior pics looked about average for two children in a DD. I have a 9 and a half year old son that can trash a back seat before I get out of the driveway.

You cleaned up the interior to a new car look. :cheers:

Great job, looks new

Very nice turn around. That interior was in horrible condition and one would have to guess the owner asks the kids to find a nice deep mud puddle to stick their shoes in before entering the car. The exterior also came out sparkling and sharp as compared to the befores with the mud running down the sides. You certainly earned your money that day. oh,and by the way, you may want to check your vacuum bag just in case those wads of cash got jamed in there. You wouldn't want to damage your equipment.

Yeah, I didn't even bother trying to show the before and after of the paint. I only gave it the one step with M205. I'd say it removed 60-70% of the scratches in the paint and definitely added some gloss.

Thanks man. The Zaino Z9/Z10 were actually for the leather seats...I used DGPS on the paint.

I've definitely seen mch worse with two kids...I wish I had my camera with before we emptied out all the stuff. I even found used forks and spoons in the back seat pocket!!!

Great job, looks new

Thank you.

Thanks Bro.

On the wheel wells I used Megs APC+. I spray then down with the APC+, pressure wash them real well, scrub with brush and soapy water, rinse with pressure washer, then spray down with a dressing of your choice.

Looks great, I hate interiors, too bad you are not closer I have had plenty of them for you to do lately.

Thanks Dana.

I'm not really a fan of interiors either but I'd be turning away a lot of work if I didn't do them. Some day I'd like to do only paint corrections....maybe once my website is up and running it will bring in more special interest work. :cheers:

I do it on the side also. So freinds, family, and friends of friends and family. They all know I will do exteriors only . I do the dash and stuff, but not carpet. I'm still looking at the extractors and the bissel LGM. So maybe down the road. Or after my knee surgery and low back fixed, which I have been fighting work comp Ins for about a year. I think interiors are harder on your back and knees, than exteriors. At least I can use a seat for bottom work.

Same here. I don't recall the last job I did that wasn't a friend of a friend, co-worker or family friend. I feel it's harder to turn down work when you have an idea who they are.

Big SUV's are not too bad on the body...it's the small cars that are low to the ground that kill my back! I think buffing the lowers on any car low to the ground is the worst. I fully intent to get a scissor lift in the near future! :cheers:
