2017 GMC Acadia- Elite New Car Prep (Dealer Loaner)

[mcarter]

This 2017 Acadia came to us to reveal a beautiful finish every new car should wear by removing the results of months of regular dealership washes. This vehicle was a dealer loaner for the first several months of its life before being sold towards the end of the model year cycle. What was interesting about this job was that the dealership booked the work to transform the finish to better than new. There are several employees at this particular establishment who have become familiar with my work over time and it is refreshing to see the value of high quality low volume detailing recognized by a high volume business.

We started with a full decontamination of the exterior. mmmmm foam...

The paint was full of swirl marks and marring. We performed several test spots before arriving at a process that yielded the results we were looking for.

We were able to get the paint back to better than new condition.

Nice job! I actually really like the new Acadia's

Whenever I hear loaner I tend to put that one step above a rental in the way it was treated. This type of work overcomes that to many buyers I bet. Did they have you do the interior? Great work. Splendid.

Great turn around

2017... Looked more like a 2007 when you got it. Whatever that dealership is doing don't change their wash method. Guaranteed business for years:) JK, probably just using cheap brushes and washing it a couple times a week.

You definitely have that Acadia looking as good as new if not better.

Nice job! What polisher did you use?

Thanks, Same, I hadnt really looked at them until this was in but it is solid. They do want some good money for it though.

Anytime I polish a vehicle, the interior is lightly cleansed at the very least. This car did not need much at all though, interior was in great shape.

I think my boss 21, rupes bigfoot 21, rupes lhr 75, and ibrid nano all had a part in this one.

That Acadia looks dripping wet!

I picked up an Onyx Black, 2017 Sierra 1500 about 4 weeks ago that I'm dying to tackle. I was waiting to pick up a new flex and some cooler weather before doing it. We have a much deserved cool front coming to Houston next week which will be bringing us highs in the mid 70s for a few days, I might have to place my order a little earlier than planned to take advantage of the weather.

Thanks, it was great paint to work with. Good luck with your pickup!
