11 second Trailblazer SS correction

[white gecko]

This Trailblazer SS came to me from a local forum member and long time friend. This is his wife's daily driver which she also races at the dragstrip. Has intake, LT headers, Corsa exhaust and a 100 or 150 shot of nitrous (depending on what jets are in it at the moment). He wanted a 2 step correction to get above 75% correction and I think we safely accomplished that Overall I'd say its 85-90% correction. Here is a quote from the owner who posted it up on a few of our local forums.

Our Trailblazer SS was in desperate need of a little paint correction. We had never buffed it or done any paint correction in the nearly 3 years since it was new. I left it with Jeff over the weekend and the results are fantastic. Keep in mind Carrie uses this as her work car and puts a crap ton of miles on it every month. It is no joke how many rock strikes, small chips and imperfections were in the paint from all the driving she does. Here are a few before and after pics. We couldn't be happier!

Nice work. That thing is a major sleeper.

I read the title and thought it only took you 11 seconds to do the correction Looks good, no matter how fast you did it.

Dangnabit, you beat me to it!! But you ARE in a diff time zone! It would take me at least 12 seconds just to wash it...



Nice, nice work!

Very nice job. Nice sleeper -- with the stock wheels/tires still. The plate gives it away though.

How was the clear coat to work with?

I was expecting it to be on the harder side, but the clear was on the softer side. Not quite GTO soft, but much softer than vette clear.
