    Those years GM black was one of the worse paints I have ever seen. I took care of my paint and still had issues plus it’s been garaged from day one. I’m actually doing my second detail since 2011. Nice job as I actually thought my car was bad till I saw this video, but we all know they used really soft paint

    I realize this at this point is a 3 year old video but I thought I'd still add my .02 My go to for GM clear was the purple wool pad sold by my Xtreme solutions rep. with the pure cut compound. What you do is probably better in the ling run but I was told to get everything out I could without it needing a body shop. Escalades Corvettes pickups etc. Whatever I would come across at a Chevy dealership. Most cases I could go right to a liquid wax after like Miami shine or Collinite 845. Done with a Rupes Bigfoot or later on the flex 3401.

    I think as an entry level unit it's just as good as the maxshine and griots to be honest. I have the G9 and although it is more comfortable the Shinemate has TONS of power ! The maxshine m8s I've not used but do own 3 of theres.. 2 15mm and a 21mm. So it's hard to compare against a similar unit from maxshine. 👍

    People don’t realize when they put boxes, laundry baskets, anything on the top or trunk of their car, when they go to get it off, they will slide it across. All the dirt and dust acts like sandpaper, and any debris that is on the bottom of what you put on the car. It could take 3 good details before it gets back to the best it’s going to be. On the interior, there are 2 kinds of stains, the ones that come out, and the ones that don’t.
