Rear splash guard, black rear bow tie, laminate-x fog tint...

Washed my wife’s ‘15. A couple years ago I watched a guy use a leaf blower to dry his truck and thought “man...that’s a bit crazy.” I’m that guy now. And I do a final gentle pat dry. Haha!

Otherwise it’s a whole bunch of getting rid of those nasty swirl marks.

The center of the hood on the Escalade kept getting "cloudy". Earlier this year we wet sanded it gave it a good buff and got it looking much better. With time the "cloudy" look slowly started coming back.

Sooooo. Today we sanded the hood, and touched up ~ 4 chips that were on the hood. We prepared the hood and worked on the hood. No more "cloudy" look on the hood. Tomorrow or Tuesday we'll color sand and buff it for the final finish.

First pic captured that "cloudy" look that was in need of a resolution.


We also worked on the Duramax and the crew cab. Busy fun day today.

^^^ Yeah, that is unfortunately the case. After wet sanding and buffing it will be 100% taken care of and on to the next order of business.

Color sanding and buffing completed tonight. Came out great. One more item off the "to do" list.

replaced condenser. U tube vid. says 1 hour, That's B.S

Well, not to happy about my condenser replacement. Seems that the transmission line from the radiator to the condenser was not not installed properly and popped out, causing all of my trans, fluid to be dumped on the highway. There is a small plastic cap that was not seated over the snap rings causing the retainer to expand letting the tube slip out. Learned somthing new today

it's more likely the snap clip was not installed properly, it may be possible it came off on it's own but pretty unlikely. that snap clip can be put on wrong and the pressure in the cooler lines is low and would stay in on it's own until just enough pressure pushed it out.

The snap ring was already installed on the new condenser that I bought from GM. I drove about 3 miles while the trans. fluid was being pumped out. Put new fluid in. Trans seems OK.

I think you are right. I might not have seated it all the way in when the clip was replaced.
