surfsidedetail Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 After swearing I would never purchase a black car due to all of the black vehicles I work on, I have my new black GXP. Unfortunately the paint was swirled up and scratched from the dealership washes etc. I picked up the car on Thursday afternoon in Louisiana and all I could think of during the drive back to California was the swirls!! I spent all of today (Saturday) polishing and sealing the paint. Products Used Meguiars Mild Claybar Meguiars #105 Meguiars #21 Meguiars Foam Tire Dressing **Disclaimer** Any pictures where the paint looks hazy or looks like holograms it is just the polish streaking as the humidity was not in my favor. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/3408/1022228.jpg http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/421/1022229.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2698/1022230.jpg http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4932/1022233.jpg http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1503/1022234.jpg http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/414/1022251.jpg http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8531/1022253.jpg http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/123/1022250.jpg http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4062/1022249.jpg http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9043/1022255.jpg Clearcoat damage from sap http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9739/1022260.jpg Wetsanded http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/2253/1022263.jpg Finished product http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/2641/1022268.jpg http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/9197/1022269t.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4792/1022266.jpg http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1074/1022270.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blklgt05 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Holden Commodore. You should do a conversion. +1 on that, also may increase resale value in the long run... versus keeping it as a pontiac. mod journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blklgt05 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 dammn... thats clean! hey surfside, do you have your own shop or garage shop? i have a buddy who just bought a used e46 330 coupe in some kind of a navy pearl color. The paint looks good from a distance, but when he picked up the car, the guys "detailing" the car swirled it up big time, it actually looks pretty messy up close. The swirl seems to be all on the clear coat tho. I'm helping him to find a good detailer on the forums, so just wondering if I could refer him to you for some detailing. Please do PM me a price quote and your contact information so I can have him give you a call. Thanx. mod journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous1 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ^^ I want to come watch that race. Lol thats not what I meant, it actually needs a good work over and your alway busy Plus I can't drive RWD worth a $hit. Even at about 8-900 lbs lighter if we're not rolling at 30+MPH I will have some "trouble". Lets just say I got a little sidewayz on a 1>2 shift already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfsidedetail Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Did a one-step polish on the exterior and took some pics enjoy! Also installed Cadillac CTS-V wheels with Michelin PS2 19x9 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/584/0000478k.jpg http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/9852/0000479p.jpg http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8104/0000480.jpg http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4223/0000485.jpg http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6263/0000483.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Seems like a fun car, but 13 mpg in the city (when it's probably tough to even hit that)? No way I could do that.. It's hard enough seeing the leggy get 17-19 in stop-and-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhook Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Surprisingly i average about 18 city 24 hwy and if I'm cruising I've seen 28 mpg!! I imagine real world mpg is closer to that. That bad boy needs some springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edkwon Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Seems like a fun car, but 13 mpg in the city (when it's probably tough to even hit that)? No way I could do that.. It's hard enough seeing the leggy get 17-19 in stop-and-go. I can believe that if the driver was really caning the engine. I get about 18-19 mpg with stop n go with my V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
