Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

Yesterday was a blur of activity in my shop. My buddys Jared Pharis and Waylon Tucker from Hicks St. Auto rolled in and unloaded the Rupes polishing system. They go started on making Scarlets paint smooth again.

The original painter had told me they gave her a light cut and buff fresh out of the booth, but the paint and cured and shrunk back. Jared and Waylon tag teamed the finish with a 3 step system. Waylon cut the clear flat with tedious block sanding, and Jared worked the Rubes orbital polisher with 3 levels of compound.

It took an entire day, but she went from blotchy skin to velvety smooth with a mirror finish. Thanks to Jared and Waylon for making her skin glow again
