What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

You’re a brave man. A black vette is enough to drive me insane. But a black Suburban ? So many panels, so little time. I’m giving a friend of mine a lot of grief over his all black RST on order.
Seriously though, the ceramic helps tremendously

I used Pinnace Black Label, 2 coats, 2 yrs ago when I picked up an all black car and had it Xpel wrapped. Loved it, but thought since it's "non professional", meaning available to the public, it would be a short term, crappy product. Here I am, 2 years later, still haven't touched a washmit to my black car. Just a 1700 psi power washer and all the dirt falls off. So I used Pinnace Black Label again on the Tahoe

Very nice. I have some classic cars so I'm very wary about not damaging the paint. I had Gteqnic's 5 year ceramic coating put on them and so far (about 5 months now) all I do is break out the electric power washer to hose em down, use a foam cannon, and spray them off. Then I use a air cannon to dry them and they're show ready. I do wipe some water streaks here and there, but aside from that, no more physically touching the paint.

What my Mach 1 looks like with Gtechniq on it.

Beautiful! Yes, I learned long ago, the less you touch a painted surface (especially black), the longer it will stay perfect.

Here’s a pic of my black car. The quarter panel is wrapped with Xpel, then I ceramic coated over the Xpel, the liftgate is not wrapped with Xpel, only ceramic coated. Still looks pretty clean 2 years after ceramic was applied.

Cannot figure out the pic, can you do differently.

Lol. Sorry buddy, wanted to do an upclose shot of the paint. I’ve circled the area I took an upclose pic of on this shot.

Nice!!

I'm considering the pinnacle black coating as you used, Carpro Cquartz or Gtechniq light ceramic. All of the 1-2yr coatings seem to be similar in price and results.

AJS, since you have a long journey ahead (lots of big panels) and if you plan on applying it yourself, my recommendation is pinnacle. I’ve used Cquarts helping a friend do his car. Based on my experience, Pinnacle was easier on and easier buffed and has lasted longer than I expected. To be fair though, the vette is a 16 with 4,500 weekend miles. The Tahoe is a DD that will see all kinds of weather. I’ll report back in a year on how well the Pinnacle is holding up on my Tahoe

okay, you sold me on the pinnacle... DId you use the V2 version...approx $80/bottle?
