Yesterday I posted some pictures of a Silverado that was improperly finesse at a body shop somewhere.
After a good wash and claybar I wet sanded with 1000,1500 and 2000.
Today I am starting the buffing process with 3m 36060 and polishing with 36064. Here are the pics from yesterday and I will add to them
Reconditioning this truck is going to be a long process as the paint is rough.
Dry spray,orange peel and overspray at the least.:laughing:
 
I wish I could get more defining pictures,I'm not sure you can see the difference.
Any way this side is done.

edit: I guess I need to make sure my phone is turned the right way,,lol
 
Thanks,on my phone I couldn't really tell but on my home PC I could see the difference.
Hopefully I'll stop getting side tracked and get it done today
I'm sure being pulled of it 5 or 6 times now has caused me to miss something
 
good lord, it takes a lot of patience dealing with full size crew cabs. props to you OP, great job!
 
Wet sand AND polished out..???

Hats off to you!

Your work looks awesome.

To be fair I only sanded 3/4 of it,the rest was overstay relocal and cleaning the underside of mud .
My boss was very happy with the results
 
That truck looks too good to be on a dealer's lot. What type of machine and pads did you use for the buffing?
 
Looks to be a 2015+

I have basically the same truck... different year and color, but it is the reason I ask a lot of the questions I do on here because it's so hard to keep something that big in the condition I want! It's 2-3 times longer to complete something because it's size compared to most cars.

Looks great! I feel your pain...that is a lot of surface to cover!!!

How did you like working on the lift? I've always thought that would be the best way...lift it up for the lower panels.

3 step process,wool,black foam 9ln pad and final polish blue foam with 3m compounds

WHIPPED500,,I really like having a hoist although it needs a new seal ans has water in it so I can only safely raise 1/2 way way up,,it makes washing the underside much easier and seeing a lot of trucks I see are farmtrucks (as was this one) it's nice to get all the field mud,corn stalks etc etc out
