This 2015 Chev Silverado is 8 years old, black with scratching on several panels. The truck is in really good condition especially for it’s age, but the owner knows if he wants to keep the truck, it’s time for a makeover to give the paint a real boost! The job took an extra day of work due to the necessary paint correction to minimize/remove scratching and bring back a rich lustre type shine.
- Paint Correction Process
- Decontamination wash – This service includes the full exterior, door jambs, exhaust, wheels, and wheel wells.
- Iron fallout scrub – Lower body panels covered in brake dust. A standard wash will not remove these bonded contaminants. A combination of chemicals are key for safe removal.
- Clay block – Clay the paint surface to level out and remove any remaining impurities.
- Wet sanding – Great before and after pics of some serious scratch removal. ( see pic’s)
- Touch up paint on several stone chips.
- Polishing – 3 stage cut and polish. Heavy, fine and micro fine cut polishes to remove swirls, marring and to enhance shine.
- Alcohol panel wash – This final wipe is to remove all remaining residues ensuring the paint is at its cleanest state prior to coating.
- Gtechniq 5 year ceramic application
- Rim decontamination & degreaser to remove all chemicals and environmental contaminants.
- Vehicle walk around and final inspection.
- Cure time indoors for 12 hours.
