This poor Silverado wasn't maintained properly, and I'm doing the best I can do with this 7424XP. I wish I had the MF meguires system, or a rotary. 75% paint correction. Not bad for a DA with LC CCS 5.5 orange, Black, and Blue pads. Still learning everyday, and mastering my skills to give it 150% on everything I touch. Customer was extremely happy with the results. Have set up on a maintence program, just can't believe people let their vehicles get this bad.

Great job! You did an amazing job on the interior and the paint came out nice.
 
Awesome job on the whole truck!
I do alot of these trucks so I know what you were up against.
Keep up the great work!
 
Nice job! One suggestion on the photos: when a dark colored object, like a black truck fills the viewfinder it fools the camera's metering system into overexposing the picture making it look washed out. If you can on your camera, set the exposure compensation to -1 or -1 and 1/2 and you'll get more color. The opposite happens with white cars. The camera will make them look grey so you need to overexpose by +1 - +1 and 1/2 using exposure compensation.
 
WOW! Great job on the 2 step paint correction. The Silverado looks awesome.

I have used diluted simple green to clean the interior of my wife's Pontiac GP GTP. It was amazing how much crud it cut. Looks pretty freaking good to me!!
