Red S2k and GMC Acadia brought back by Got_Leather

Hello all, first up is a newer 2007 I believe Honda s2000. The owner picked the car up and called me right away telling me the car had swirls and scratches everywhere. Luckily Honda paint is soft majority of the time so I was able to get about 98% correction within a little less than 9 hours.

Process was:

Wash via ONR
Clay
M105 via white pad @ 1500-1600 RPM's
M80 via black 3M pad @ 1500 RPM's
Chemical Guyz EZ Creme Glaze via black 3M pad @ speed 6 on PC
Opti-Seal
Optimum Car Wax v2

Before

After M105 first pass

AFTERS

The line you see is the pole from the light, not a scratch..

Next up is a 2008 GMC Acadia. Owner bought from a private seller so the condition of the car was way below average. I'll be doing a full out paint correction in the next month on this one. But for now we did this.

Thanks to Ed - (Cleaning Fool) for the help.

Process was:

Wash via ONR
Clay
Meguiars #80 via white pad @ 1500 RPM's

Thanks,
DJ

Man that Honda was trashed! What a turn around! Great work as usual!

That is a gorgeous color on the Acadia. Looks good.

Looks good my friend! Do you need to back off on the ISO setting for the indoors shots to get rid of the grain, or does the camera have issues?

Thanks all

Todd - My camera doesn't allow for much adjusting. These were the only pics I could capture much without using the flash and made the pics even worse. The owner does work for Ritz Camera and took several pics in sun day after, I'll be trying to get those soon.
