Pontiac G8 GT Paint Correction

[SuperMarioSVT]

Detailed a friend of mines' G8 GT. Car was in pretty rough shape (Purchased that way).

I used my Rupes 21, with Rupes Blue Coarse Pads, and AMMO NYC Leveling Fluid. Finished it off with Zaino Z5 wax sealant.

Sorry that the pictures are kinda low quality cause they were taken on my iPhone 5 and pulled from Facebook. Didn't feel like busting out the DSLR for this one.

Oh! That thing was hammered! Very nice work. Really corrected the hell outta that paint. Looks very good. How do you like that AMMO? Long work time? Dust?

Thanks! Yes it was lol. Wait till you see the Trans AM I'm doing next week...

I had about 5 hrs of actual paint-correction time. 8-10hrs total. I did the interior also. AMMO makes a lot of dust but it works really well. I keep burning through my Rupes pads. Not sure why. They seem to fall apart as I'm working for a long period of time, and eventually lose their bite. Not sure if I have the machine set to fast or what? (I have it on full blast lol) Looking for alternatives right now.

Yeah, switch pads out...and possibly run a little slower speed. They are heating up and breaking down. The velcro backing area will eventually fail and will fall off.

Damn! did they dry that car with sandpaper?! Great job on the correction.
