Full Paint Correction and Ceramic

Graves · 10-10-2020, 02:12 AM

Had about 40 hours of work put into the car. Wet sanding, paint correction, and 5 coats of ceramic. Had my wheels repaired from some curb rash and painted satin black. Came out amazing.

Great job!

Which coating did you use?

AIRHEIR · 10-10-2020, 08:38 PM

Now if you could just change out those reflectors. Looks amazing.

Car Looks great! Amazing jobs man!

Quick question for you. My car is ceramic coated, but recently found swirls in some areas of the car, so decided to just purchase the Griot's Garage G9 Polisher along with Compound, Polish, and Gloss poly wax.

Can I just apply the compound and a polisher to remove the swirls? or do I need to remove ceramic coating from the car first? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Compounding/polishing is how you remove the ceramic and swirls
