First off this is my new 2003 Z71 Tahoe. It started off with tons of white overspray and heavy swirls. This took me about 3 weeks to finally finish because i only had a little bit of time every weekend to finish it.
My process:
Wash: Mothers Gold Class
Clay: Claymagic Red (This wiped out the overspray really fast, highly recommend)
Machine: Dewalt Rotary
Polish: 2 passes with SSR 2 and 3m White cutting pad at 1400rpms
1 pass with SSR 1 and 3m Black polishing pad at 1400rpms.
Wax: Megs NXT
Before:
After:
Results 1 to 14 of 14

Re: I Finally Finished My Hoe
Nice correction pictures. I sure like the results!! For a while I thought it was a black truck but I realized that it is that green color that looks black at certain angles. I almost purchased a truck with that color Now that I see your I think maybe I made a wrong decison.

Re: I Finally Finished My Hoe
Looks great nice job in eliminating those swirl marks...
I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

Re: I Finally Finished My Hoe
yea i was really kinda nervous using the rotary again but after i got goin i threw the pc aside and kept using the rotary because it was so much faster in breaking down the polish.

Re: I Finally Finished My Hoe
Very nice job on the truck. The paint came up really nice. You got to love the magic of a rotary. Did you wind up putting tire dressing on your tires?
