Hammered Silverado

[autobrite]

Here is a 2008 Silverado. The truck was pretty beat up and had some pretty good scratches in it. It was an exterior only detail that took me about 10 hours to complete.

Process:

Clayed entire truck using Final Inspect as clay lube. M105 on double sided wool pad. Followed by 1 pass of M205 on a green flex pad than 1 pass with 205 on a white LC finishing pad. Then I topped wih 26. The tires were dressed in ASD and the plastic trim was done up with HD 2:1 as well as the wheel wells.

Wow that looks 1000 times better, you did one heck of a job.

Excellent job. That is pretty impressive especially since GM clear can be a bear to work on.

I will never understand how people can spend so much on new cars and just abuse them like that.

Nice save...

Hope you educated the owner on how to keep the paint looking good so it doesn't return to how it was before you restored the finish.

Very nice turnaround indeed. These are the type of jobs I get to do all the time but the better known I get the nicer the cars get. Great job on a tough finish.
