    Nothing to special, just a daily driven Tahoe which needed some TLC.

    Paint Process

    CWG/Z7 1:1 wash
    Clay
    Gloss It 1 step machine polish via Cyclo
    Gloss Finish sealant x2 via Flex

    No befores. Once the swirls were polished out the finish really began to pop, nice color with decent flake IMO.

    The final product...

    I doubt it
    Tell me more about gloss it
    I have been to their website and their strongest polish or compound is only rate at 2000 grit, surely they have stronger gear than that

    Menzerna and Prima are my #1 and #2 with Hi Temp Extreme power cut in 3rd

    IMO using Gloss It with a PC or Cyclo is unbeatable. The polishes work super smooth, dust very little and work on any car. Using Gloss It via rotary is a sharp learning curve but still good. I was sent a sample of their new 1step machine polish which is amazing, truly a very versatile product which has quite a good bit of cutting ability. Depending on the level of defect I just vary my pad choice to get the cut I want and it works like butter, the 1 step isnt out yet but will be soon. As far as their heavy compound goes (Extreme Cut) I will say it can remove a serious amount of defect, especially with a wool pad but it works more like a polish due to its thin consistancy. If I need more bite I may grab M105 but so far I havent found a finish I cant correct with Extreme Cut and a wool pad.

    What products did you use on the interior? I really like that matt look you've got going there...

    Cleaned with LM strong and then topped with Optimum leather protectant, I think it leaves a nice finish.
