140 Hour CTS-V Full Color Sand/Correction
I recently picked up a 2011 CTS V Coupe, it was a demo used by the dealership and I got a smoking deal on it so I couldn't pass it up! After about a week of looking at how terrible the paint and texture was on my car I decided to fix it! Myself and Justin knew that this was not going to be a fun task to do in between all of the other cars we were correcting but the outcome was sure worth it all! After our prep process we pulled it inside to get some before shots with the Sun Gun and take reading with the DFT Combo. Once we checked the readings we determined what steps we were going to do. The sanding process was carried out with a Trizact Sander, starting with 1,500 dry, 3,000 wet, and finished with 4,000 wet. 4-5 steps were used in bringing the paint back to life. The car was topped with a coat of Crystal Rock, and the two others I have been testing. Enjoy the photos.

And it won't be needing any serious attention anymore due to the fact I know how to properly maintain my car without scratching it!
