Chevy Tahoe paint correction and Opti-Guard coating
Client recently purchased this vehicle for his wife and wanted it looking new again with some durable protection. The previous owner appeared to have lived on a gravel road and frequent the local swirl-o-matic wash.
Process:
Wash – Foam bath with CGCW and 2BM
Wheels – Meguiars Wheel Brightner
Tires – Optimum Power Clean
Clay – Meguiars Mild Clay
Paint correction step 1 – Meguiar’s D300 and MF cutting disk on the DA
Paint correction step 2 – Meguiar’s M205 and crimson LC foam pad on the DA
Coating Prep – Foam bath with CGCW and OPC followed by a IPA wipe-down
Paint protection – Optimum Opti-Guard (Paint/wheels/lights/trim)
Tire and wheel wells – Dressed with Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing 3:1
Glass – Meguiars D120
Chrome – Optimum Metal Polish
Note: Areas with bad water spots (hood and fenders) were first hit with M105/Surbuf
Before pics
Heavy swirls
Water spots on hood
Side molding were in rough shape!
50/50 after just the D300 compound!
Water spot 50/50
