Awesome job man! What tools/products do you use? I've found that Porsche clear is pretty soft with one of my customers 996 Turbo. the PC and a mild pad/polish combo got rid of most light swirls on a single pass.

Now if GM on the other hand...O M Gosh I hate detailing Vette's lol.

Anyway, great job!

of course i did! the turbos are really designed so they spool slowly. kind of a dog out of the hole, but once it gets going it really takes off. my truck is faster.

I saw a show on TV where a pro driver took this woman in the UK out in her Turbo that she never drove on the h-way or over 50mph before. He had her on the track and she was blown away at what a full blown rocket it was! Needless to say a few months later they revisited here and her husband had "assumed responsability" for the truck and she had a Ford! R/

gm stuff does have really hard paint, im not sure why though! it seems like my truck still gets scratched very easily.

Great job!

GM paint is weird. GM black, with the exception of metallic blacks, is very soft. Other colors, like my truck, are pretty hard though.
