Awesome job. I did a job similar to this and it didn't come out as nice. Black is not at all forgiving. Great work.:xyxthumbs:

Thanks! black isn't very forgiving at all. I've practiced alot, so I'm sure in time you will be able to get the finish looking near perfect. No one starts out as a pro. It took me a long time. :props:

wow amazing transformation....how long will the paint stay like that though?

Thank you! With proper care it would be possible to keep the paint near perfect for a long time. I explained to the customer the imprtance of proper wash techniques and why to avoid the tunnel washes. Of course marring is going to happen with a daily driver, but it certainly shouldn't look like the before pictures again.

Thanks! I had about 20-25 hours in it. I didn't really keep track to the minute, but it was somewhere around there.
 
Outstanding work Dave.

That represents a lot of physical labor and knowledge for polishing paint. Thank you for sharing. Truly inspiring work right there buddy.

That looks AMAZING!

Great work, how many hours did you have total in it?
 
What is it about black full size SUVs - seems like their paint is always completely trashed. I see them on the road all the time and unless they have a 30 day sticker on them the massive swirls are apparent from a distance.
 
You make me SO ANXIOUS to do a correction on my Mazda 6 once the weather turns!!!!

Thanks man! I had about 20-25 hour in it, and that was just on the paint, there was no interior work on this job.

Very Nice job on that Tahoe!

That had swirls galore, no light needed for that one!

Good show!
 
That is GREAT! The before and after shots show all the hard work and knowledge you've put into the job. Fantastic work.

Yep, I did remove the pinstripes at the owners request. They actually peeled off fairly easily, but left some glue behind that I took care of with 3m adhesive remover. then it was just a matter of polishing the areas.
