Looks awesome!

for that truck, i just did the basic wash, clay, mild compounding, polish, wax etc…nothing fancy…just loads of elbow grease and time mostly…I basically did, what the customer wanted…i could have easily gotten more involved in it. it wasn’t THAT bad…i’ve seen/done worse.

and i know about the advertising…im working on that with howie as we speak.

however, today was interesing…i busted out 3 C6 vettes…the job has its perks lol.

This looks great.

In all honesty you should not be using anything too aggressive in terms of polish on a truck/everyday vehicle. It’s a truck, it will likely get some scratches and swirls. Polishing often with harsh polishes is not a good idea in terms of paint longevity.

Plus, to be frank, most people don’t know how to wash a car properly and that’s why they have paint in poor conditions. This is good because it keeps you in business, but bad for the paint if the customer expects a truck with flawless paint after you are done every time.

I understand my advice usually falls on deaf ears on this site…

I do what the customer asks for. I give my advice, some take it, some do not. for what its worth…there was nothing extensive/aggressive done to the above truck…just the standard.

I didnt hear a thing you said.

…agreed 100 percent, full defect free correction is great but I think theres a point when you need to educate the customer and let them know what goes into maintaining the finish you have recreated essentially and what they should be doing or not doing

Juiced post up your process, curious to how aggressive you needed to go

Any sun shots?
