2013 Chevrolet Acadia

[DP 08 GXP]

This was a coworker of my wife`s SUV. We had done an exchange of her husband putting up our back splash and I would detail her vehicle in return. The GM clear coat lived up to its reputation on this one. The paint was very hard to get corrected. I originally started with BlackFire SRC on an orange pad and had to bump it up to Menz Fast Gloss 400 on an orange pad to get the cut I was looking for. The interior was already in good shape so that made the detail a little easier. On with the pics

Looks great! It`s amazing how good it looked in the shade until you got it under the lights for the before pics. This was just a 1-step with the Menz FG 400? or did you switch to a less aggressive pad and also finish with the same polish? If it was just the 1-step then I am really amazed at the shine for something that cut that well.

Great job :) I hope your backsplash came out just as well.

Thanks! I did a few panels with Blackfire SRC on an orange pad and most were done with Menz FG400. I started on speed 6 with my Flex 3401 then kicked it down to 4.5 to bring out a little more gloss. These compounds have not let me down yet.

Thanks. He did a great job on the back splash especially considering whoever installed our cabinets before we bought the house had them installed so there was a nice slope to them.
