lasers Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hello everyone, I'd like to show you my 2006 Chevy trailblazer SS. I purchased this vehicle about a month ago out of Austin, Tx. It took some considerable searching to find it, and it has 27,000 miles on it. Pretty hard to find one with 60,000 let alone under 30,000 miles. However, the black paint does not look like it was taken very good care of. There were some of the worst swirls I have ever seen in the paint, along with some pretty deep scratches in the clear, and water spots and haze all along the doors and fenders. I finally couldn't take it and broke down. I purchased the Porter Cable kit from Adam's last Sunday. It contains all 3 polishes, along with the Machine Super Sealant, and some very nice towels (which I will be purchasing MANY more and replacing my current ones). This process took me two nights after work, 6-10:30 the first night and 6-11 the next. I would say I removed 70% of the defects, which I consider VERY GOOD for the condition the paint was in, and the fact that I'm using the Porter cable and not the flex. I should have purchased the 4" Focus system, however I will be soon to try to fix a couple spots. Overall, I think my paint looks awesome now! I've received a lot of comments, first was at Sonic when I was getting lunch. The guy giving me my food had to do a double take, said "damn man you just washed it huh? looks crazy". Then took the blazer to get a tune put on by a local tuner. He said it looked super clean! He couldn't believe it was a 06, said it looked like a new car. At least I have some good tools to use After the severe swirl remover Before: After Unfortunately had to go to work today and let it get dusty, looked good though this early Hood looks pretty awesome I must say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Awesome work man! Nothing like a dripping wet black paint on a TBSS to cause some serious face melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir very pleased with the results. Your thread helped motivate me although your paint was much much nicer to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
