I’m still waiting on door panel parts and my replacement seat cover, but I did manage to get this done tonight...

Yeah, I’m kind of the same mentality!

Sorry, no pictures...but a full pass with Mother’s clay bar, 2 rounds of Meguiar’s #7 and then 3 coats of Meguiar’s ultimate wax later and it’s one slick 8itch I got the rest of the wheel arch trim and such put back on too. I’ll get some pics up this week.

I love how the Clay Bar cleans the paint and makes it smooth as a baby butt. I just did my 2006 Chevy Colorado. She’s slicker than snot!
I use Griots products, since I do some Detailing on the side. I like how I can get most of their products in gallon refills.

Mines still not baby butt smooth, but it’s much better than when I got it. It was more like 200 grit rough.

I’ve never used the Griots, but I’ve heard great things about their products!

On another note, I got a shipping confirmation on my remaining door panel trim pieces. Looks like Wednesday. But, I’m still waiting on the seat cover.

I’m still waiting on the seat cover too. It will probably be a few weeks.

Yep, that’s what I was told too.

I did finally have a chance to get the door panels assembled and installed with the new carpet lower pieces. I replaced the upper long brushed trim, door pull & chrome covers, velour inserts (went from light blue to a darker blue) and the armrests. My wife is putting new elastic in the door pockets, hence why they’re missing. But I do think it looks much better.

Before & after...

Got another email stating that it’s not the seat cover, it’s the missing hardware for the door panels.
