Black Chevy Silverado with Prima

Before our Open House I worked on this Black Silverado. It was so large that accessing many parts proved difficult, even with a ladder. I didn't want to deal with removing splatter, so I decided to use the PC with an Orange Pad and Prima Swirl to remove the haze and swirls out of the finish. While using a PC is slower than an RB, not having to go back over the finish with a PC to remove any buffer swirls, and not having to tape the cracks and crevices makes up for it.

Process was

PC with Orange Pad and Prima Swirl
PC with White Pad and Prima Amigo
PC with Black Pad and Prima Epic

Prima Hydro used for touch up the following day







Tested out the Hi-Tech Body Sponge "claybar"


Rinses off with water


Let's you clay over decals without fear of leaving clay residue along edges


Keep it liberally lubed (wipe it frequently)




Set it safely almost anywhere when not using it


Use an SCD Towel Hook to keep clean MF towels accessible at all times. Some people like to use the mirrors to hold towels which works, unless the car is really tall or very large.

Before Black Wow on Front Bumper


After


Hyperdressing was used on the rear bumper since you had to step on it to climb into the bed and HD isn't slippery.

Black Wow on grill slats









For comparison, I didn't polish out the bed, look at the improvement--yes the bed has been washed and is clean. The tailgate looked just as bad before polishing.









I spent a total of 10 hours on this which included the interior and the results were fantastic.

Looks awesome!

Good call on the PC to save you from splatter clean up.

Good thing my Silverado can't see these photos, it would be jealous. Looks great Richard!!! I hope this summer yet I can get my black one looking that good.
