Default 2008 Escalade
Finished this up late last night. Pretty nice ride. Enjoy

Before shots






Masked off, ready for buffing.












Second pass of M205.


Imperfection free.


















Needs brakes but none the less, 26's and fender wells clean and dressed.




Total time was around 8 hours and 35 minutes.

This one took a little longer than expected, but it turned out great and he was extremely happy with the outcome. 99% swirl free. :buffer:

Speed varies from panel to panel depending on how the panel is before.

Mainly M105/LCC Orange speed 5-6.
M205/Black speed 5-6

Thank you for the kind words.

This particular ride belongs to Blake Beavans. He just got traded to Seattle in the Ranger deal with Cliff Lee. He is in Triple A and did play for the Frisco Rough Riders. Very talented guy, and personal friend of mine.

Not making any assumptions, but your using a Dual Orbital? That vs a normal rotary.
