New 17 Yukon

[Mwbutcher]

I have to confess to being lurker on here and learning so many valuable things from all of you. i finally pulled the trigger on a new Yukon. Thank you all for your help everyone and hopefully I can contribute and add a little bit from time to time. So where all clay barred, floor mats are in with just a few things that the dealer has to take care of next week - we should be good to go. Thanks again gang for all of your help, Mark

Looks awesome man. SLT is a great trim. How long did it take to clay and wax? That's a lot of paint to cover!

Thanks. About 4 hours to CB taking my time and I did the windows too. I used the Mothers Speed Clay 2.0 and Chemical Guys Extreme Slick Synthetic QD and it worked really well. I added a mist and wipe of quick wax for now as I am going to do something a bit more robust for paint protection once I figure that out. Thanks only took 35 minutes or so.

Nice color. Is that Iridium/Tungsten?

Yes it is. A bit if a departure from the white vehicles I usually buy. There are so many nice colors out there now and we noticed the paint jobs seem very well done on many of the Yukon's we looked at.

Very Sharp! I really like the color. Congrats!

Excellent color Choice! chemical guys synthetic quick detailer is the only spray I'll use as clay lube whether I'm detailing my own denali or any clients vehicle. Much easier to towel off when done, it doesn't degrade your clay bar, and it smells fantastic. Haha. For wax I'd recommend a base coat of chemical guys jetseal, for a long lasting durable layer of protection, followed by a coat of their blacklight wax, to really bring out the pigments in your dark paint. It'll give it a fanatic look of depth to your paint.

I use Optimum No Rinse and Optimum Spray Wax exclusively. I clay and wax every spring and fall (Mother's clay kit). 4 years later (4 salty slushy Nova Scotia winters I might add) and my 4Runner basically looks as good as the day I bought it. The paint is glossy as can be. I use is Optimum No Rinse on ALL exterior surfaces including the wheels. Sometimes I use a bit of tire shine if I'm feeling up to it. The best product I've ever used.

Looks absolutely great. Nice job.

Thanks - i used CG Extreme Slick Synthetic and the Mother's Speed Clay2.0. I do have a question. I have the carbon Flex C9 kit to put on, do I need to go back over the car and strip off the extreme slick detail spray residue or can I apply that carbon Flex C9 straight over the detailing spray. I sent an email to the chemical guys but I haven't heard back from them yet. I was wondering about that jet seal and how that would work I also have some black light to try. I will say this, thr combination of the extreme slick synthetic detail spray and the Mother's 2.0 speed clay bar it went real quick and the finishes super smooth.

What does everyone do for the undercarriage since I won't be taking this through a brushed car wash. How do you get the undercarriage clean, in Michigan we just have a shitload of salt and with my white truck I could get away with once a month running it through a carwash, not this one.......

I usually take my towel after claying and use the wet side to wipe down any left over residue and dry with the dry side. There shouldn't be much left over, especially with the CG synthetic quick detailer. No need to strip anything after the clay. You can wax over.

I run my vehicles through a touch free car wash to get the undercarriage done.
