This vehicle was a recent purchase by the parents of one of my good clients. After seeing how poor the paint looked he wanted to get it looking proper and protected for them.
Process:
Wash – Meguiar’s Hyper Wash and natural lambs wool mitt
Wheels – Griot’s Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner with wash mitt & various brushes. Polished with CG Metal Polish
Tires - Cleaned with Megs D143 and Tuf-Shine brush. Dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing 3:1
Paint Prep – Griot’s Fast Surface Prep Mitt and Glide as lube
Paint Correction - Groit`s Fast Correct Cream on the G15 with Griot`s MF BOSS pads followed by Megs M205 on the G15 with yellow BOSS pads. Tight areas done with Rupe LHR75 and Flex PE14 with 2" pads
Exhaust - Optimum Metal Polish
Glass – Megs D120 and Griot’s PFM glass towels
Coating Prep – Optimum Opti-Prep
Coating - 2 coats CQuartz Finest

I've missed you my friend Rasky! Then again, i figured let the weather improve in MN and he'll show up! Phenomenal results and i've always envied your "shop" lighting. Thanks for sharing that work.
Great work Chad!! How long did that beast take you?
Thanks Marc! I think I had right around 20hrs into it. The 2-step knocked out all the swirls you see easily but I chased down several deeper defect for him being a really good client, which required a few extra passes here and there. I also polished the chrome wheels so that added a good hour.

I did take a few months off over the winter to relax and work on the shop a little...back at it now though.
