What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

[BDM3]

Mine is about two weeks old now, just did ceramic tint all around. First time doing the windshield and I love it. I’ve got a gloss black grille and trim pieces for the front end on the way. Have the black emblems at home as well as the lift gate trim piece. Gotta figure out the sides now. Happy to officially be a part of the group.

Sharp ride @BDM3.

I’m usually not a fan of red, but the sun brings out the different shades and angles. Looks good.

What brand/product tint did you go with?

Thank you! I’m not a fan of red either, first red vehicle I’ve owned. But I’m happy I changed it up and went with it.

I went with Xpel prime xr plus. First time going ceramic and I love it. The fronts are 15%, backs are 45%, and my windshield is 55%. The place I took it to explained how the privacy glass in the back is already basically 15% and if we did 15% back there it would look limo. He said I could make it little darker by doing 45% or match the fronts by doing 55%. I opted for the little darker since I have 3 babies back there.

Started my black out process today. Got the front all done, lots of sweat. Probably took me 3 or 4 hours total. Here are some quick pictures, I’ll post more when it’s clean and out in the sun.

Cool))) and please tell me how you did it? they tell me that the grill can only be painted by removing it and immersing it in a bath of acid.

I just bought an aftermarket one that was already painted gloss black and installed it. I’m mostly just buying replacement parts, I thought about wrapping a lot of the stuff but want permanent.

I understand. I'll have to take it to a workshop for painting. Because the Chrome on the Grill has already begun to swell with bubbles.

Looks really good!

Gotta get it cleaned up, but happy overall. Doing the lift gate panel next.

First time towing a travel trailer - about 300 miles round trip. Duramax tows great, plenty of power to pass - got 15mpg doing ~65mph. Extended mirrors and back of trailer camera were sooo helpful!

New black grille and painted the GMC letters on the front. May change the letters to match the paint color. View attachment 405968

Where'd you get the black grille? Love this over the chrome!

Since I moved, I've had to adapt to not having a DIY hand car wash business nearby. Last week I decided to wash my Yukon, and that didn't go so well with the minerally water quality. I washed it the old-fashioned way in my driveway, and used a bucket of soapy water but I ended up with so many major water spots all over, I rage quit.

This week I used a ceramic coating which took off a few water stains, but this time I wiped the car down with a wet rag first, then applied a ceramic coating. That'll be the new "norm" for me going forward, so I don't have to worry about water stains and the need to dry it off, since I'm using a damp super-fine microfiber rag.

Next on my list of mods will be to remove the "GMC" badging from the rear tailgate. It's pretty annoying to get around it when detailing my ride, plus it'll look a lot cleaner.

I hire a mobile detail guy twice a year to give each of our cars a deep clean, and he recommended one of these: https://adamspolishes.com/products/adams-portable-spotless-water-deionizer

last weekend my wife drove the Tahoe towing the Airstream to the Duct Tape Drags in Tucson....I drove the Chevy II. Fun weekend.

I ordered it from a small mom and pop shop. I've copied the link below. The price, at $215, is less than I paid.

Today I bought our family Tahoe!! Brand new 2023 Z71 in iridescent white. Can wait to start fixing it up. My wife has given the go ahead on a leveling kit, wheels and tires. I’m beyond pumped. This thing is sweet! It’s great to finally be back in a Tahoe.

Nice @REF0603 Good luck with it.
