• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

What started as a small project to blackout my grill, turned out to be a little more.

Since this is the family hauler, it doesn't get as much love as the other cars, so it certainly takes a beating.

I ended up doing:
  • Full 2-stage polish with ceramic coat
  • Wheel off cleaning with plastic ceramic on the fender liners and wheel coating
  • Correction on the door sills
  • Plastic ceramic coating on all exterior trim, wiper arms.
  • Wetsanded foglights
  • Engine detail
  • Interior detail with piano black trim being polished
I also started the blackout transition. I installed all the OEM black badging and logos. I took off the front bumper to remove all the chrome bits. This made it easier to wrap. So far, I wrapped:
  • Upper and lower grill trim
  • Grill honeycomb
  • Lower spoiler
  • Lower air duct covers
  • Door handles
  • Lower door trim
I also tinted the foglights and rear bumper reflectors. I tried tinting my headlights, but it looked pretty bad.

Now, to wrap the rest of the trim....
