FrozenWS6 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Last week I buffed and coated my friends 08 TBSS. Took about 20 hours to complete the job with around 16 or so hours of correction. I spent 4 hours on the hood alone to get it back. I strip washed, Clayed, 2 step w/ the new blue heavy cut compound on the hood and finished it with the orange correcting compound. Did 1 step orange correcting compound on the roof and sides. Then did the coating prep, coating, let it sit over night and boosted it the next morning. This blue just pops and looks awesome now and the water runs right off when we washed it the first time. Here are a couple before pics. After Buffed with the 2 step Heavy cut and finished with Correcting polish. Yes the white specks are from rock chips. Normal in Alaska if you drive anywhere. With coating in the sun. Edited March 23, 2017 by FrozenWS6 8675309'SS, SSilver07, fmBMW335i and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan@Adams Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 That is an outstanding turnaround on that SS, and makes me miss my old TBSS even more seeing those pictures! The clarity, depth, and metallic in that paint now is insane. I always wanted a dark blue metallic TBSS, but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the gloss black '08 when I bought it in '09. Love that color If I ever end up parting ways with the little ls1 frankenstein truck, I could easily see myself finding another TBSS for a winter vehicle again a few years from now, such a fun SUV. Ninja edit : Nice license plate in that first picture! b_pappy and jessewsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenWS6 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys. I didn't realize how much this color popped until I did this one.

Ninja edit : Nice license plate in that first picture! Dan. These are fun trucks. I have an 07 silver TBSS and love it. Spent 2 years looking for a Red one, (looked up and down the west coast) Didn't find one, then found a local older couple that had a very low mile Silver one they bought new with exceptional service records and grabbed it up. I had bought that plate and forgot I had it until I opened and moved into my shop. I try to put it on every car I take a picture of. But the later pics I took here I was rushing to take because he was on his way to pick it up and I had to have finished pics of this big job. The trio. My silver, a black, and the blue one on the right. As a dealer for Adams I wish you'd offer things like that to dealers first before they get sold out to the public. We dealers need some cool attention grabbing signage for our waiting rooms and sales displays. This is what I've done. I double stick taped the banner to my wall. But a metal sign would look even better. Edited March 23, 2017 by FrozenWS6 b_pappy and lower90xcab 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenWS6 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks again guys. Both the customer and I are still amazed at how well it turned out. I have been showing new potential customers these pics so they can see what their vehicle could look like with some extra love and paint protection. I'm pretty sure that paint is even better looking now then when it was new sitting on the dealer's lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenWS6 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 that looks amazing! here's mine and my little thing going on here in Denver, CO maybe our next meet can be at Adams HQ Thanks. Yours looks good too. I leveled mine. If I didn't need all the ground clearance for all the places I've driven mine. I would have lowered it like yours. One day I hope to make it to the headquarters and check it out. b_pappy and SSilver07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
