What we have here is a 2005 GMC Sierra dressed in Maroon... Well what can be said... It is big and not well looked after ... Owner brought it to us to have the shine brought back to it, minimal correction beyond that, it is after all a farm truck. Dan and I spent 14 man hours on this beast and we both have to say, this car is 75/80 out of 100 when it comes to the paint defects, but the reflection is 1000x better then it was with only a single pass. Truck looks wet with the LSP applied and a nice reflection in low light.

Bit of 50/50 to check the process Before pass, paint is flat and reflection has no depth After pass, paint is glossy and smooth, reflection now has depth Afters!!! Looks 1000x better then we started with. Very happy with just a single pass correction Thanks for viewing! :thumb:
About 6 years ago I had the same truck, same color, except I had the 8 foot bed. That truck is a beast to detail, I can appreciate all the work that went into that. Very nice turn around, great work.
