This long time client recently took delivery of the vehicle. Washed at dealership before coming to me. I think you know where this is going! I got the vehicle maybe a week after he got it, so no one else has touched it. As you can see, it was absolutely trashed. This was a very difficult paint to get right! Cutting done in 2 steps with Griot’s fast correction cream on a microfiber pad to remove the defects. This hazed the paint pretty good. Polishing done with Griot’s perfecting cream on an orange correction pad which did away with the haze but didn’t bring back perfect clarity. We then refined with Griot’s perfecting cream on a yellow perfecting pad. All paint work done with the 15,6 and I brid. No speed higher than 4. Finished up with Modesta Primer on a black finishing pad. Coated paint with BC08, wheels with poly wax, tires with Griot’s black satin. All in all we had about 8 hours in just polishing!. Thank you for looking! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/cc276ee3cda3945578e3af65ebba7b96.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/e0a6f5a54f2481a03b9894639a7c157c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/184c143fa0ae729654a98e54d0e476c0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/4dba70899da8469a2a18415b11ecaea1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/e100eddba3534d4cd24842934f74c751.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/fb43f855609fb15293e0c5081167ed39.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/57ec6da9ba1a3fd2bead1c1eb96c6001.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/629f8c91fd5119cf8d73057111fa741c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/c012ad11bbb4d1711829e3fc3496b83f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/bf48b65745fbef58f1f3a50d6656db4a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/b16a41f423278b4202823d97aeb1f13e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/b589a98f4c1ff0201612c40fed588d5b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/c14fd00d4905175520e9d7ffb31141e5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/a6535f07730ac0ba82ea210f874918e5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190211/315f61608fb6e27ee3e898e8268e2517.jpg

Jeez Mike....That is awesome! I gotta get up there soon to see Griots at work!!!

Really toying with idea of switching over sometime soon. Will need to do a few more polishing sessions with griots before deciding.
