So I had a customer call and ask about polishing out his Black '07 Denali. He mentioned that he had scratched it after trying to clean it at a "do-it-yourself" carwash. The problem is that he used a brush that wasn't clean .........

Scratches were an understatement!

As I received it:

After I finished:

Just thought this would make for an interesting subject as a person can do what may be perceived as being irreversible damage and then have it turn out to not have been so bad afterall.

Looks great. I wish you were closer. When we bought my wife's 07 a few months ago it had scratches on it where a golden retriever jumped up on it and left some scratches. I haven't done anything with it yet, but it's next on my list now that the weather is improving.

Nice work you've done there!!! That came out good as new :waytogo:

This should be noted for others who may actually use the mistake of using a BRUSH that is normally for tires and the under side of your car on their actual PAINT :whymewhyme: That guy should have paid you twice the going rate for how you turned his ride back around man. Nice job!

Lately there have been a wealth of Tahoes coming for polishing etc. People just don't seem to take care of their cars anymore. I have plenty of work coming because of it though!
Thanks

Thanks man! The first words when he & his wife arrived were "Holy Sh*t!!"

I had to laugh and have him promise not to do something like that again! LOL.

You wouldn't believe some of the cars we get in here. I have another black Tahoe for tomorrow morning and a Phantom Black GTO for tomorrow afternoon ....... we'll see what they look like.
