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:

M105/LCC Orange speed 6 with a D/A Followed by M205/LCC black speed 5-6 for correction.

Having multiple pads on hand really is key for time.

Yeah, I just got a ton of pads in so I can just swap pads for each new panel rather than trying to "on the fly" clean only a few.

Looks Awesome dude. I appreciate clean paint more and more everyday.

Needs big brakes, 2/4 drop, 3000 converter, and a mild cam. Those 6.2s can run.

I agree on the drop and brakes. It already had a D1 on it but he took it off after the engine took a dump.

I honestly don't think I'd be able to roll around on that wheel/brake combo. So silly lookin!

At least the rest of the truck looks great now, lol

Edit -..... did you polish that badboy right there in the street??

lol. Well that's how he likes it so to each their own. I agree on brakes but that's my opinion. Anyways Ryan berry's black turbo escalade owns all. :bling:

I also don't like esv's. Reminds me of a big station wagon. But it's a nice ride.
