I got a call late last week for an emergency appointment. The owner of this GTO was taking it to a local show and needed it looking really good. I was booked solid, but with some hard work and LONG days, I was able to fit him in on short notice. We went for 1 step of paint correction with the plan to do a full correction later in the year when more time was available to us. Was able to achieve about 85% correction with just 1 step while retaining good gloss. Finished up with Zaino afterwards as well. Its just a 1 step, but I`m pretty happy with the level of correction I got out of it. Haven`t posted a whole lot lately since I`ve been absolutely swamped, but hope you guys enjoy this simple writeup as its all I got time for at the moment lol.

After paint correction was all finished I pulled it into the sun to check the work.

Thank you. I used Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. They weren`t very bad. No reason to remove the spoiler though.




Great job. What pad/polish combo did you use?



This one was an old faithful. Menz SIP on LC orange. The combo works great on the soft GTO clear. Thanks.




Great job on a great color!



Thank you.

Way to come though! Outstanding turn around for such limited time / heads up on this. Pics say it all and the owner owes you HUGE

Looks amazing! That thing had more swirls than a Chocolate/Vanilla ice cream cone with the little gummy bears and sprinkles on top. Good turnaround!

The combo works great on the soft GTO clear.



:2thumbs: That`s what I like about GTO`s, soft clear! Just one step removes a lot, two can pretty much get everything.



Looks great, yellow is a great color for that car.
