What a beast...I only got one interior before, and totally forgot to get interior afters, so no point in posting that up, but I'll post up the exteriors. Paint was a lot softer than I expected, which gave me some relief. :) You can't see in the first pic, but the wheel wells were CAKED in mud, it was horrible!

i was gonna sk if there was a bonding issue with #9 and ksg but from the looks of it no issue there, very nice work and in only three hours impressive.
 
Thanks very much guys :) Just got my 3.5 plate and 4" pads and RMG, wish I got it in time to try on the Denali.
 
2-3 hours of polishing? I just don't want NOOBs to be mislead, so let me make a quick point - maybe with a rotary can you go over a vehicle that size twice in 3 hours, but with a PC it's gonna take you a lot longer (unless your only making one or two passes...but then you really don't be doing much defect removal either). Don't get me wrong, a PC can remove some fairly heavy swirls, but it is going to take a long time.
 
Yeah it did only take somewhere between 2-4 hours of polishing.. I started polishing at 12-12:45, between there, and finished somewhere around 4 or just after. All that was left after #83 was some very light hazing, so a fast polish with #9 removed that hazing.
 
Very noticable improvement! :)



Also goes to show people who don't take regular care of their cars shouldn't buy black.
