So the past few days I took on a big ole 2011 2500 Silverado. This poor truck had never been polished. The owner almost didn't purchase it because he wasn't sure if it would be able to be saved. Thankfully a good bit of time and some elbow grease took care of it pretty well.
Let me start by saying this paint was horrible to polish. Rock hard but trying to finish it without hazing was a chore and required some slow speed polishing to finish it out.
Overall the truck came out nice but it has its fair share of RIDS remaining.
Wheels/Tires- Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, LATA, Mckees Gloss Tire Gel
Washed/Decon - Mckees extreme foam shampoo, nanoskin medium grade prep pad
Machine polishing- BOSS G21, Americana IAT 1500, Americana EFC microfiber cutting pads
BOSS G21, black LC pro thin pad, Pinnacle advanced finishing polish
LSP- 2 layers IGL Quartz, topped with Premier silica sealant
Chrome- polished with McKee's Fast Metal Polish
Plastic trim - Mckees plastic trim restorer
