05Single's virgin build thread. 03 tahoe

So I’m still laid off , my neighbor kept bugging my to detail her truck (for years) and I finally caved...but I still charged her full price lol. People ask me why I charge so much, well because I take stuff apart to clean it. I never clean “around” stuff if possible. So there’s a little mechanic fee in there lol.
Btw I hate this color interior

 

[05Single]

She said it’s cleaner than when she bought it used (2011 Denali bought in 2016), I said yea I get that a lot lol.

The red didn’t come out, expected. But I’m surprised how clean the rest of the carpet came out even tho I didn’t have access to a shampoo/extractor

Had a Denali with that color interior and hated it. You got it looking rather spiffy.

What's the story on the neighbors truck? Any better shots of that?

Can I pay in gum?

A fair price for a days worth of work...

That thing was nasty. I hate to see vehicles get like that. Nice work.

Make sure to polish all window trim. This will bring life back to the plastic and keep it from fading and cracking later View attachment 252436View attachment 252438

Thanks so much for showing this detail mod. I have owned my Tahoe since 2004 and never thought about doing this. I hit all 4 of mine today with some 3M #1 compound and then a coat of Meguiar's cleaner wax. I stood back and was totally AMAZED.

I pulled a Dave Detail moment today while working on my clients 2013 suburban. Lol. The idea of taking things apart to clean them helped me clean underneath third row seats in her burb where the brackets that mount the seats to the truck are. So much crud built up under there! And I was so proud to be able to clean that out thanks to @05Single ’s idea! Haha

I had my own detail shop for 3 years and this is what I did when the customer asked for a full detail. Believe me they paid for it but when they got it back is was better than the day they bought it. You need to get into buffing headlights. Here in the south they are oxidized bad. Nothing to get $60-$100 a pair for an hours work to make them look new again.

I don't understand how people let their stuff get so nasty. I get upset when my floor matts are dirty.

I can’t even handle when there’s scuff marks on my floor liners from my shoes....
Let alone understand how people get in their cars everyday absolutely filthy...

I’m watching my NNBS get rained on and if the lightning bolts were not so intense I would give it a wash right meow.

I want Dave to detail the long body with the cashmere and cocoa interior.

Thanks. Well I cut her a deal . I usually charge 500 inside and out. 250 interior and 250 exterior. I charged her 150. Then 200. Then 100 more because f**k that color lol. 300 interior , but she knew it was worth it.

He wants me to detail that . Of course I had about 6 or 7 neighbors come up to me while I’m detailing in my driveway asking for a detail . They all see my truck , they’ve all asked before. But now they seen me do a truck that’s mine so they were on me like flys on poo. He’s trying to sell it, wish I had room I’d buy it. Old Turkish guy that owns a local Turkish restaurant bought that burb brand new. 1 owner, when his kids were old enough to drive they got it and tore it up. Everything works. Body and interior are pretty rough . But it would be a fun project.

Not even an hours work . Can knock a set out in 20 minutes. I’ve actually never charged anybody for that but I should. Oxidation of headlights is actually very rare up here. You will still see it on cars from the 90s and earlier. But it’s not like you see in Cali where a 3 yr old car has oxidized lenses.

In case y’all were wondering what a 2017 Tahoe grille inserts would look like lol . With some more work it could look even better. But it’s fun to play around with ideas like this. View attachment 250305View attachment 250306View attachment 250307View attachment 250308

If it’s photoshopped I’ll say it’s photoshopped, otherwise yes it’s real life
