Went down to Hunters Performance today, to do a 2-Step Package on the Procharged Trailblazer Hunter just finished. Truck was in bad need of a detail. Paint was pretty rough and needed claying badly, plus the paint was rather hazy from the mass amount of scratches/swirls. So Hunter wanted to at least get 70-80% correction on the paint to make it looking good for the customer. Paint corrected real nice and resulted in 90-100% correction of the swirls/sratches which in turn really let the flake in the paint pop.

Process:

Wash - CG Citrous Wash'n'Gloss
Wheels - Diablo Wheel Gel
Clay - Pinn. Ultra Poly Clay w/ ONR Lube
Taped Off w/ 3M Green Automotive Tape

Buffing:
1-Step - SIP via GG DA w/ LC Orange Pad
1-Step M205 via GG DA w/ Tangerine Hydrotech Pad
IPA Wipedown

LSP - XXX Hard Core Wax

Windows - Stoners Invisible Glass

Tires - Pinn. Black Onxy Tire Gel

Once I was done with just over half the truck, I had to back it out and turn it around. So I figured I would grab some sun shots of the current completed panels to see what the true results were...

Great work. I have always been a fan of those. Needs to be lowered though!
 
Nice work! Not really digging what they did to the wheels, but other than that it looks pretty good!
