Detail - 2009 Chevrolet Silverado This was a referral from an LT1 I did previously. Guy either owns a construction company or works for one so his truck see's quite the abuse. We were limited on time so I did what I could with what was allowed. It turned out nicely but the sun was going down by the time it was finished up.
The owner wanted me to remove as much of these scratches as I could as they are an eye sore to who ever gets in on the passenger side.
The hood wasn't too bad.
50/50 shot:
Finished the rest of the panel:
The tail gate was pretty bad. A semi 50/50 shot in the sunlight.
A little closer up shot:
And now finished down:
Swirls gone:
Remember these scratches? About 98% gone. There were a few random deep scratches that would require some damp sanding. The owner was more than happy with what time allowed.
The tail gate finished down. It's not 100% but TONS better than before:
Wheel wells and rubber/trim dressed and ready for pick up:
And here is how she shipped out:
Questions/comments are always welcome! I was a little sad the sun went down so fast (before day light savings).
Thanks for checking it out.
