Took the GTO out earlier in the week, knew it was gonna rain, didnt care.

But that means I did have to give it a sponge bath today w/ some WG si02 rinseless, and finished up w/ a fresh coat of bead maker.


I didn't even think it was that dirty And I didn't even touch the wheels.

Much better

It did have a dirt trap in it. And obviously it works.

Before

After

You can still make out the mark, but scratch is gone.

Used Griots BOSS Correcting Cream with a Lake Country Orange foam pad with my DEWALT cordless polisher running about 4000rpm (for the heat).

Went back over it with the Griots Ceramic All-In-One Wax, with the same pad (a new clean one, same brand/type) also at 3500-4000rpm so it would polish it up.

Dude, you can barely tell. Nice work!

Thank you. I was giving myself about 5% chance without touch up paint and wet sanding. Frankly I’m shocked it made ANY improvement, let alone that good.

Overall took maybe 20 minutes including the time to get the tools and product ready.

Gotta clean them up now.

 

[IDAFC21]

Damn son. NIce job

I don't know when to leave well enough alone, but it looks like that would level out with some wet sanding.

It very well might, but there would be a lot more of that to do on the whole truck. I’m very happy and content with the results.

If you can feel it with your fingernail, it's not going to sand out. It looks good after buffing because the sharp edge is rounded off, so it doesn't catch light that highlights it.

Turned out great!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

blue-sun, so wheels/tires/truck bed done. I use this water for washing the car now, right?

 

[IDAFC21]

Lets all play "Is it dirty wheel water, or used oil?"!!!!

I've got some SOS pads and some Scotch-Brite pads to help get those out.

And don’t forget to use either hair shampoo or dishwasher dawn as your soap! It’s the anti-detailing thread!
