Just another installment of the huge fleet of vehicles I get to take care of these days. I didnt take any before pictures because the shop isnt really condusive to good lighting plus I was working in the body shop were some items were being fixed (same one I got this big connection from) so I didnt want to really get in the way so much or to waste time. Anyway if you remember the cadillac and mercedes details I did, this paint was just as bad if not worse. I brought it back to about 95% with only some deeper RIDS remaining.

Process:
-S+W
-Hi Temp Extreme Cut leveler & Optimum polish - 2 beads each via LC 7.5" orange light cut pad @1500
-Optimum polish via black LC finishing pad @1200 rpm @ OP with pc @6 on tight areas.
-OCW x 2

NL on tires.

I am going back tommarow to finish up the little details like trim and such, I just gave it a quick wipedown prior to the pics. I dont wanna here about the wheel wells!! they will be done tommarow.

It took about 11 hours. Yes doing huge vehicles like this help me learn better and faster ways of working and help me perfect my skills. Its alot of hard work but its great to see the end product.

Tommarow I start an excursion limo, im not to thrilled as I will have to put in a very long day tommarow and then also go back during the week and work...

hey Greg,

Are you using a orange pad and hi cut leveler instead of wool and a less abrasive polish?

I'm also curious about this greg.

The limo looks great. Your building yourself a good reputaion that will take you far in the detailing biz in your area.

I've seen the other ones and the paint is really F'd up on them. I would be using a wool pad, at least on the cutting due to the size of them. Would make the first step ALOT quciker. But of course theres nothing wrong with using a foam pad, its all prefrence. And i see you know what your doin so keep it up, i'm sure your building yourself a good reputaion that will take you far in the detailing biz in your area.

Greg- great work there! I've seen much of your work that you post- I think you should start a detailing University!

Hey- any chance you hit the roof on that truck? Just wondering if I would have been the only one to just hit a quick detailer or a one- step to the roof!! As much of an enthusiast that I am (I mean I'll polish my black Tahoe till the finest marring line is gone) - but here's my confession- I'm guilty of never treating the roof!! It's a big truck to polish, and once I get her pretty and clean- who wants to break out the ladder and go climbing up to the roof? Ha.

I never have been a big wool fan becuase the wool gets everywere and that takes more time to clean up. So i use the highest cutting foam pad I have (orange) and then use an abrasive compound/polish like the hi temp extreme cut and optimum hyper compound mix.

thats where these are nice, they have a vinyl top, that matches the sides. I just spray some dressing on it and wipe off.
