Nicely done

Nothing better than a shiny car other than a shiny Monte

Finally nice weather in our part of the world.

Excellent work. I was wondering.. how long does the car stay looking that good? I'm sure it depends on the care taken to the car after the detail.

Alot depends on how well you maintain it, garage kept or parked outside, regualar washes, not using harsh cleaners, what i applied should be good for 4-6 months

Justin,after polishing...do you use a sealer wax?..
4-6 months is quite a while for it to have a lasting sheen!

My Silverado is the same body style as the 2500 you just finished...
Mines a 2004... But its only a 1500... club cab not a 4 door crew cab...
(and its Black)

You definately do some very fine work!
Im really hopeing we can hookup in August so you can do
your Magic on it!
