Talking Wanna see something Xtreme?

Xtremely slow!
I borrowed my friends daily so i could polish it up for him, its a 2001.
He filled in some scratches with touch up paint the other day and i got to sand them out today yipee.
here is how it started


anyways, i did a wash, clay, then wet sand with 2000 grit, only went over the touch up spots.
Then used meguires m105 on a Porter Cable. the combo did a great job at taking the swirls and scratches out, here is a 50/50.

Then polished it up with m205, and here it is

Nice job. My S10 was the same color. It's almost as bad as black to keep clean.

and here's what the 4.3 could get done

I wouldn't mind having it back, to drop a 408 LS motor in
