Default 11 second Trailblazer SS correction

This Trailblazer SS came to me from a local forum member and long time friend. This is his wife's daily driver which she also races at the dragstrip. Has intake, LT headers, Corsa exhaust and a 100 or 150 shot of nitrous (depending on what jets are in it at the moment). He wanted a 2 step correction to get above 75% correction and I think we safely accomplished that Overall I'd say its 85-90% correction. Here is a quote from the owner who posted it up on a few of our local forums.

I left it with Jeff over the weekend and the results are fantastic. Keep in mind Carrie uses this as her work car and puts a crap ton of miles on it every month. It is no joke how many rock strikes, small chips and imperfections were in the paint from all the driving she does. Here are a few before and after pics. We couldn't be happier!

BEFORE: Lot's of swirls, scratches and dull looking paint."

Iv been checking out all your projects and they always look amazing when done!

Iv got a question for ya? Have you ever used the 3M 3 Step Process? If so do you like the products you use better? If so were can I get them. Iv got a black car and I do a lot of detailing for local buddies and Im know for the kid that can make a black car perfect. Just looking at my options for buffing and detailing products. PM if you need!
