2013 GMC Acadia

[DP 08 GXP]

This was a coworker of my wife's SUV. We had done an exchange of her husband putting up our back splash and I would detail her vehicle in return. The GM clear coat lived up to its reputation on this one. The paint was very hard to get corrected. I originally started with BlackFire SRC on an orange pad and had to bump it up to Menz Fast Gloss 400 on an orange pad to get the cut I was looking for. The interior was already in good shape so that made the detail a little easier. On with the pics

Thanks and I changed the title. Thanks for that as well lol

[cardaddy]

Great turnaround indeed! :) By now I'm used to GM paint and find it easy to work with for the most part. (I'd much rather work with it than Porsche soft black that's for sure.) :laughing:

What blows me away though on that Acadia, (especially considering how hard GM paint is) is the fact that it was STUPIDLY TRASHED OUT. And it is a freaking new truck for crying out loud. :rolleyes:

Whaddya' wanna' bet they trash it out all over again?!?! :dunno:

Any-who... great turn around on that one.

[HateSwirls]

Wow that car was loaded with swirls and you got it looking brand new again.
I think they came out with the better deal.
Great work man🙌

Thanks. I thought I was too until this one lol. At least I'll have a repeat customer now :dblthumb2:

Blue always looks snazzy when its all cleaned up! Nice job.

[noslef]

Wow, that paint was terrible. Nice turnaround! What kind of polisher did you use for this correction?

[Sicoupe]

Great work, looks awesome:)

[DP 08 GXP]

Thanks everyone. I used my Flex 3401.

[Hazcat]

Did you find out why the paint was so trashed? Very nice turn around. You gave them a new car again.

Thanks. I believe it was from frequent tunnel washes.
