Default Detail - Hummer H2

Future brother in laws roommate came to me wanting to see what I could do for some scratches down the passenger side he aquired while toying around off road along with giving the entire thing a good cleaning/dressing/paint correction/wax. The only thing he did not want done were the carpets extracted due to time constraint so I'll be hitting those up once I return from my vacation. The exterior trim was the worst part as it needed to be dressed 3 separate times to actually take the color it looks like in the finished pics. And to top it off...there was ALOT of trim.

Upon arrival



















Bumper trim faded




Scratches down the side of the truck






50/50 shot after cleaning and dressing 3 times:




Leather conditioned 50/50 shot:


The trim around each place mat did not want to be dressed and are permantly stained. I cleaned and dressed them a couple of different times with no difference








Scratches gone:


Another shot:










Rear trim fully dressed:




Screens wiped clean:




Front trim fully dressed:


Finished Pics:










Questions/Comments welcome.

Awesome job. How many hours do you spend detailing the outside?

What dressing did you use on those bumpers? I have a buddy with a Hummer that has the same fade.

This was around 9 hours. With the heat ( I normally am in a controlled environment like a garage with a fan) I have to take my time (moderately of course because time is money lol) so I don't over heat.

Meguiars Natural shine. They need to be cleaned properly prior to dressing though. These were just so dried out it took a couple of applications to take.

Extremely exquisite attention to detail! You do charge people when you do this kind of good work for them, right?
