When I saw the car going through the car wash I though oh no but fair play you did a great job with the claying and the polisher what a difference, I’d never take my car through a car wash it puts so many scratches in the paint
Need to take a correction light to it to see just how good it turned out.
SquashBluesky Xbox PC hahah and watching this foooooooor....??? 🤷♂️
Real results, not like some other channels detailing new cars. great job
New cars need detailing to. There are still results just smaller and cars paint isn’t perfect coming from the factory.
New cars get new car prep services because dealers pay some kid 12 dollars an hour to wash and detail as many cars as they can. Simply put they swirl the crap out of brand new cars. Hence people like me telling them DO NOT TOUCH MY CAR.
I commented on another one of your videos on this truck but I still think it's so neat that this truck got lucky enough to be bought by you. I'm sure the kids who left the note asking you to take care of her would be overjoyed to know that you're not only doing that but you're referring to the truck by her proper name. Keep it coming!
I keep rewatching this video over and over again and keep coming back to this heartfelt comment. I don't know why but it makes me so emotional. Tahiti is in such good hands and I know those babies would be overjoyed with all the love she's getting.
you got lucky with that paint. it looks like a new vehicle.
Proud owner of a 2004 Cadillac Escalade with 300,000 miles 🤷♂️
Oscar Herrera been a year.... has it taken a shit yet,... my 05 did at 180k miles and I babied the shit out of it... never buying a Cadillac ever again worthless and value drops more then a strippers panties
I love Tahoe’s and Suburban’s, very VERY reliable and long lasting vehicles, best of their class IMO. Great job on the clean up!
Why You Mad I’m Just Another Russian I have an 02 . Gonna give it its annual dose of love . Great trucks
I inherited a 2003 GMC Yukon SLT that now has 71,000 miles on it and it has every option and you and the people telling their stories about the model they own, has inspired me to put more money in for upgrades,to get some body work done besides just focusing on just the mechanical side.
Way to bring a gem if a truck back to life, inside and out.. Just all over stunning.. TFS
Man, I just found your videos, after searching for direction on a front end rebuild, I already did the shocks and air compressor. My ebay pimp kit is in the mail, I'm doing everything you're doing. 03 Yukon xl denali 208k. I'm glad I found this channel, I've had the truck for 3 years @160k, finally doing needed maintenance and upgrades to make the big b*tch last.
FYI- you don’t throw away clay bars after one use. They can last you many years. You have to determine how bad it is and maybe swap it for only wheels then trash it. Cool video
Love your videos!! Nothing is more satisfying than resurrecting a nice used car. Two products you might like for regular maintenance are Meguiars D15601 Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax after every wash and HD Speed All in One, for periodic polish/wax. You'll be able to keep the freshly detailed look for a very long time! Keep the content coming.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Speed Clay. If you drop it on the ground, you can just wash it off and continue. Once detailer's clay is dropped on the ground, it's ready for the rubbish bin.
No going back to regular clay for me. The speed clay did a great job, plus its reusable.
@@lsxmatt I keep a wee wad of clay for hard-to-reach spots such as under a roof rack like you mentioned.
These are much better then the car fix shows on cable tv on Motor-trend. It’s real world. Not a half hour ad for some product
Matt, I'm always impressed by your pragmatic and cost effective approach. You get great results. You have me looking to sell my trailblazer and upgrade to a slightly less used Tahoe now!
Holy crap. AMAZING. It looks brand new
Love your Tahoe videos. I have a 03 Z71 that’s the same color as yours. I bought it new. Definitely been the best vehicle I’ve ever had.
the only thing i’d recommend would be to wipe straight lines, the only reason is because you’re eliminating the possibilities of the classic “swirl mark.” Great job! i love the series.
Looking like Glass my man's excellent work 💪 💪 💪 ☝
Removing that bug shield was a huge improvement.
Man that paint looks beautiful theres really nothing better than a cheap car that looks amazing
Nice job!! I need to get a buffer!!! Also I recommend applying rain X to the windows, make them suckers shine!
That thing turned out friggin great! I've been doing tons of research on different chemicals to use. Gonna give Adam's a shot for sure.
LsxMatt this came out great and the fact that it's got 200,000 miles in it wow it looks great .
I’m slightly confused about which product you used to remove the scratches? Was it just the Meguiar’s compound?
Samcrac taught me a cheap claybar trick. You can use plumber's putty just like you would use detailing clay, but it's only 1/10 the cost of detailing clay. You dip it in soapy water and get busy.
When I was 4 we had a suburban, I miss it. It was crushed at the dumpster because it wasn't turning on. I miss that car, and here he has a like-new 😭
My friend has one idk what year but it's that body style. Thing is immaculate. It has like 70k miles and looks like it just came off the lot
looks great! That truck has power folding mirrors by the way. Set the switch to the middle position then hold the large square button on the right to fold in and on the left to fold out.
I was really expecting the clear coat to come flying off on a truck of that vintage, but it turned out great. Haven't been brave enough to do my truck, but now thinking about going for it this summer.
My dad had one of those Tahoe
the clear coat was a pain even the transmission
Inspiring, just redid the drivetrain on my 05 Excursion, time to refresh and clean up like you've done here :) subscribed 👍
Plastic restore melts the plastic. I just spray it with rinoline or black primer. Looks really nice.
Truck is looking better and better
If your gonna pull the seats out
Change the carpet
I’m gonna do that to mines in the spring when I re do my seats
And maybe some dyna may.
Nice! Get h20 Guard and gloss. I’m a detailer and it is definitely the best protect for really good long lasting protection that’s quick and easy to apply. I’ve heard amazing things about Meguiars ceramic wax but haven’t tried it yet.
Haven't worked up the cojones to buff my NBS yet, but damn if that doesn't look pretty. Excellent job
Awesome job dude. Keep up the hard work. You're killing.
Wow, it came out looking clean!! The truck looks like new now 👍🏻 I should do this to my Audi too...
Looks great brotha!! Throw some HID's on her and call it done!
I was thinkin that too👍
Paint looks good, but the more important question is, what does the under carriage look like? How much rust? What is the condition of the frame (and the brake and fuel lines)?
Check out the second video in my playlist for this truck. I did a shakedown where I showed the under carriage and all that stuff. Shes rust free👍
Do you wax the glass? When I was a detailer we did that and it made a big difference!
The speed clay is great, and you could actually just use soap and water
Looks good 👍 did you ipa the paint before protection? And did that brush scratch the paint around the emblem in the back? Just curious..
What model number is that porter cable? I just got a porter cable 7346 but all the reviews say it’s garbage.
Can't wait for the next warm day to hit my Durango that Tahoe looks nice
Ur doing an amazing job. Ur making me bring my Tahoe back to life with all the mods ur doing. Thank you and keep on posting the links. They are very helpful. Would you ever do the cluster
I had the cluster sent out to be rebuilt. I’m not planning on doing gauge faces but who knows.
LsxMatt saw that video and Great video. Gotcha but will be cool tho. Just got done working on mine
Thanks to your videos I was able to do new front end... next is my transfer case and so forth... haha wish me luck. I find myself hoping to see future updates on the Tahoe.
Proof! You can polish a turd. JK looks great 👍🏿
Great job especially in December
Huge improvement!!
Looks really good, what do you keep your GoPro setting at?
love your detailing videos, subbed
Hey man just wanted to throw you a thatta boy for all your work on that tahoe! Doin work for sure, I checked out most of the vids you posted up through the transmission rebuild. Keep up the good work Matt. I just picked up a 04 yukon denali so some of your experience is helping me out for sure. Thanks again man for taking the time
Truck looks killer brother!
Get that bug deflector color matched. My old 04 had it done and it looked great.
So would u highly recommend the mothers clay bar thing?
Yea, way better than a regular clay bar. Plus the fact that its reusable makes it a no brainer👍
Even with a DA, you have to be careful near the edges. Ask me how I know...lol
that must've come from the south. no way a rust belt truck would be that rust free
We don't get rust but when a hurricane comes, well, it will either survive or get flooded lol. An old coworker of my lost his 03 Suburban with 370k miles to hurricane Harvey. RIP.
Hey Matt how many pads does it take to polish a vehicle this size
looks like you need to turn up the speed on your DA, what speed are you on? i use that same one everyday in 6.
I had it on 6
Badass came out good keep up the good work
What about that little bit of rust on the bumper mine has that and I don’t really know how to fix it
What is a DA? (I’m new to detailing)
Dual action polisher
my 03 LT Tahoe needs some TLC. I've been getting mysterious dents and scratches for the past 6 years.
Just amazing.
I only use the touch less car washes because the touch ones collect rocks In them and it will scratch and mess up your paint but I think you got lucky and didn’t get any scratches but it looks amazing! You did a great job I live in NY I own a trailblazer SS could you come wash my truck next? 😂
So do I! The only reason I took it to that car wash was because I was going to do paint correction anyway👍
LsxMatt MAKES ALOT OF SENSE
Looking good man.
Love this series. Liked, commented and subscribed. Keep it coming!
Good video man! I know I’m a little delayed but subscribed to you man
Damn, that came out nice, scratches gone! nice job. Love the truck.
What did you use for tire dressing?
Very nice Sir,good job👍
What auction did you use to purchase the Tahoe?
Love the the tahoe videos actually looking to buy one soon thanks for all the good content
How many polishing pads did you go through? I have a 05 z71 that I will be polishing soon.
only 2
@@lsxmatt thank you. I enjoy the Tahoe videos. I love my Tahoe and cant wait to watch what you do next!
I have an 05 Tahoe over 230k miles any idea how to get rid of acid rain on windows ?
$1200? wow where I live, cant even come close to d deal like that! NOT EVEN CLOSE!
I don’t like the tan color but it seems like everyone else loves it
Like new 💪👌banging truck you could double your money💵 selling it easily all the work you doing 😉it's a keeper Deffo love the design shape them suvs awesome 😎
Really great result....makes me get to work on mine.....
Wow your roof rack looks brand new
Better to be in the sun in the cold to keep the paint warmer
Nothing is quite as sexy as a freshly waxed vehicle.
I can smell that compound from California.
Is this in watertown?
You should put a leveling kit on it
Ohh man one day I cleaned my tahoe this clean and my brother thought it would be funny to take it thru a mud hole in the middle of the night
That looks good man! Keep the videos coming I love these types.
Very cool
How did you get the rims so polished?
I just cleaned them, thats the oem finish.
Burned out side marker bulb on driver front would drive me nuts.
Is the wiper supposed to be on paint like that?
Yea, its a stupid design.
Nice work bro
I am looking to buy an 05 Yukon or Tahoe, is this a bad buy in 2019?
Thomas Huntington hell no
Thank you both! Is there anything specific I should watch out for when I go to make the purchase?
Very nice
8:44 dude clean/replace your pads. Where's the sun light shots showing swirl removal?
Dynamic Mobile Audio
Dude this isn’t a professional detailing video.
He made the paint look nicer and I think that’s all he was going for.
Damn. That came out clean!!
Looks great.. Im going to do my 05 yukon, same color.
What if the original paint is already chipping off?
AyeJai Marsalis If the paint is already gone, the only option to fix it would be to have it repainted.
Wow my 2006 Chevy has peeling paint. It seems like GM paint is a real mixed bag.
Herbie Husker maybe this truck spent a lot time under shade or parked under a roof/garage
@@Duck_31 It's possible. My 6.0 powered truck still runs amazing though. Mechanically it is perfect, the interior is fine, but it could use a paint job, probably because it has never been garaged.
Sealants like wax and stuff go a long way for keeping your paint from becoming brittle and pealing.
I can't help but notice that you have kelly edge at tires and I just bought a set for my wife's pilot and I have had nothing but trouble with them belts breaking and defective replacement tires, I bought the warranty and I'm on like the second full set of replacement tires habe you had similar issues, I don't mean to freak you out I have just stared at my wife's car enough to know exactly what tire that is. 😂
Lmao I’ll have to keep an eye on them. Thanks for the heads up👍
Wait is this ur car or someone else’s please reply
My car.
I hope you find a garage this year
