GMC Sierra 2500 HD Diesel

This wasn't a full detail...thankfully. I really didn't feel like making two passes of polishing on this monster. I gave the owner the option of a full detail or a lighter detail. He chose the lighter. The truck appeared to see a lot of hard use, so it was probably appropriate. Didn't take befores.

The pictures don't reveal the swirls, but they're there. The sun was behind the clouds all day. I was actually surprised at the amount of swirls just KAIO and a polish pad removed. Nothing major, but a noticeable difference. Sorry about not having photos of the swirling. I just wasn't expecting much swirl removal on this one.

You can see some etching and a passenger door keying in some of the photos. Some of it was through the primer.

klasse does a great job of masking A LOT of swirls, but they come out if klasse gets washed off or dies away and the sealant glaze highlights them.

Re: GMC Sierra 2500 HD Diesel

Great looking detail. The Natty's Blue looks great on there.

FWIW I have never noticed KAIO removing or hiding swirls because I ususally just use it as WOWO but I can believe that when used as a polish it has the possibility of cleaning up light marring.
