The Problem

This Chevrolet Tahoe served as the family's road trip vehicle and had just returned from a two-week beach vacation. Salt air had dulled the paint and corroded the wheel finish, sand was embedded in every seat crevice and carpet fiber, and sunscreen lotion had stained the leather seats and door panels throughout the cabin.

Our Process

• Thorough exterior rinse to remove salt residue
• Two-bucket hand wash with wax-stripping soap for fresh start
• Clay bar treatment to pull embedded salt and contaminants
• Machine polish to restore gloss to dulled paint
• Sealant application for salt and UV protection
• Full sand extraction from seats, carpets, and cargo area
• Leather deep clean to remove sunscreen stains and conditioning

The Results

The Tahoe was completely restored after its beach adventure. The paint regained its deep gloss, the wheels were free of salt corrosion, and every grain of sand was extracted from the interior. The sunscreen stains on the leather were fully removed and the seats were left soft and protected. The family was ready for the next trip with a vehicle that looked and smelled brand new.
