My paint looks just like this... the before I mean. Good to know there is hope. I need to get on the dang ball.I just order an Airaid Jr. kit and SLP delete for the Suburban. I am also finishing up the paint correction and will be applying a coating either tonight or tomorrow. Not sure if I will use Americoat or CQuartz Finest on it. The exterior was in really poor condition when we got it, but I didn't wanna do anything with till after winter.
This is after being compounded and polished.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Dusted it off like I always do after work. Should have a nice upgrade come Saturday morning 
Drove mine a lot. Filled up with premium in SC today. On 22s average I am getting 17.8

Yeah I am one of the 4 installers in Pa. I don't think I will be using Finest on this though as the paint just isn't up to the quality that I would want it to be to use Finest on.
Ah ok, Nice, I Just did same charger that was supercharged with UK. I have a Porsche here now for a UK coating. Why not just put some UK on it if you don't want to use Finest? Unless you like to wax the truck every 5 months. I have UK on my truck and 300c and love it just basically because I don't have time to wax it every 5 months but mostly because I love the beeding ease of washing and the deep gloss.

I was close to putting UK on it, but I really don't like the application of UK. I ended up using some left over Finest I had from a previous job on it. Once I get home from work I need to pull it out in the sun and make sure I didn't miss any high spots. I also do not like to wax anything, although I did just put wax on our Saleen because I am planning on having paint work done on it at some point this year and there was no point in wasting coating on it.
So do you detail car full-time or do you just do it part-time? I only do a car each weekend pretty much, since I only do this part-time.

^Looks great! Hopefully I'll be having Brent detail mine soon.
Anyway, I disabled my automatic headlights this afternoon by installing a resistor in the dash sensor. I'll be installing HID's in the next day or two, but needed full control of the headlights so they don't come on during start-up. Seems this type of low voltage condition isn't good for the ballasts. I read somewhere that the other option was to use a headlight relay out of an Esky which is voltage sensitive and won't let the HID's fire until the truck is running, but I can't find anymore information on it. If this is an option and anyone has any info on it I'd appreciate it.

Just use a basic hid relay harness. 10 dollars on ebay. There will be a trigger wire which will come from the stock bulb socket. Wire that to a basic 12 time delay relay and set it to 10 seconds. Boom. 20 dollars and all done. Best of both worlds.
