Default 2009 Escalade ESV Detail

Received a call from a mutal friend to get this Escalade ESV cleaned up for his Boss. She bought this car sight unseen for a pretty good deal but when she saw it, it was covered in some bad swirls/marring. It took a good while but she was very pleased with the end result. This thing is HUGE.

Washed with Meguiars soap.
Spot clayed using clay magic.
First pass correction using Meguiars M105 / LCC orange pad.
A few panels were corrected using Menzerna SIP/ LCC orange pad
Followed by Meguiars M205 / LCC black pad.
Polished with SFX polish / LCC blue pad.
Sealed with SFX blazin maize / LCC blue pad.
Tires and trim dressed with SFX dressing.
Fender wells cleaned with APC then dressed with Meguiars natural finish.
Glass cleaned with Stoners crystal clear/microfiber.



Masked off ready for buffing:








Corrected:








Questions/Comments welcome

Looks good!!! Lets see some more of pictures of the Escalade and not all close ups.

It's nice to see all of the car at once.

It's a stock Escalade ESV. Unfortunately, I finished this when the sun was already down and the outside light was minimal. That along with the garage I was working in was a bit cramped so I only was able to snap close ups.

I was just speaking about being able to step back and take full pics of the car.

I was working around childrens toys/strollers etc. It wasn't a problem, but there was no area to stand back and take complete pics of it. It was huge.

how much you charge for getting the swirls out on a maroon z28. never been claybarred or anything. maybe wax and buffed when it was sold but that was it.
