Another long time client of mine. Did his Lexus a year ago and it had some hail damage from a storm this past year. Body shop complimented the finish on it saying they haven't seen a car look like that unless it was right out of paint and wetsanding. HA. So, he wanted me to take care of his newly acquired SS that hadn't been cared for properly by the previous owner.

Spent right at two days on this big girl. Corrected, polished, and Opticoated (pro version).


Exterior:
  • Chemical Guys Citrus Wash (twice) Once after polishing
  • Speedy Prep towel medium
  • Wheels/barrels were hit with CG Diablo wheel gel 1:5 & various brushes
  • Wheel wells and rubber were hit with APC 1:5 & various brushes
  • Tires dressed with Show Room FX White Pearl
  • Wells treated with CG Bare Bones

  • M205 LC Black Foam w/Rupes 21 5" BP

You can see here in this corrected pic that the hood has some deeeeeeeeep etching from bird bombs. Had it been coated before, the coating would have taken the abuse, we could have polished it off, and reapplied with the OEM clear coat perfectly fine underneath.

Questions/Comments welcome.
Enjoy.
 
Nice work. Sad to see one of these trucks in that condition, but glad you could save it for the new owner.
