I started doing a customer's Cadillac Escalade this morning and got about half way through. It's an 08, but nonetheless in pretty rough shape. I put 9 hours into it today with probably the same amount slated for tomorrow. Here are some pics from the progress so far.










The difference - untouched on the left with one pass on the right.




More pics will come tomorrow when I am completely finished.

 

Wow that's impressive, very nice job!

 

hey Garnet,

whats pads/compound/machine did you used?

 

Tools used were:

Polisher: Flex 3401
Polish: Menzerna Intensive Polish with orange pad, Menzerna 0106FF with white pad
Sealant: Menzerna FMJ
Carnuba: Migliore
Clay: Claymagic

 

Nice Garnet! What a difference one pass has made! That paint was horrible Looks great so far

 

A few after pictures. It would of been nice to take some pictures outside in better light, but it was snowing.

 

Looks good!

 

Yesterday I polished my IP with Light Compound and White Pad w/ the PC, it looked great until I parked under a streetlamp and see the scratches are still there. Do I really need Medium Compound w/ Orange (think its too harsh) on my paint, or am I just doing something wrong?

 

Paint looks awesome! Great job man. Might I suggest some Chemical Guys Bare Bones Undercarriage spray for those wheel wells to turn them black again?......Then it would be flawless.

 

Great Job! Looks like a professionals work

 

that, sir, is a nice job you have done

 

Wow great job!!!

 

Excellent job Shane! Post the finals when you finish.

 

Looks great! Great work!

 

Very nice work and a sweet garage to work out of.
