    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.

    That is a great color combination.



    Excellent work.



    What did you use on the pipes?



    Did you remove the spoiler?

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

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

    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!

    :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.
