'02 GMC Envoy (using X3)

[richy]

This vehicle was a challenge, both inside and out. Typical hard, hard GM clear. I used the same X3/foamed wool combo to remove scratches although a nasty one on the hood got wet sanded. The inside had a stain that was at least 5 years old..out it came with 303 cleaner at 100%. I'm proud of this one!
