Sanding and buffing my 06 GTO
Hey guys. I havent really posted on here much since buying the new whip. Mainly just because I have been super busy and trying to get ready for the 2nd boy thats due soon. I have been wanting to sand and buff the orange peel out of the factory clear on this car since I bought it. Some of you that know me know how OCD I can be when it comes to this. All my past rides have been cut/buffed so that the paint has a mirror finish.
Got the car sanded out with Meguiars 2500 grit the other day paying close attention not to get near the edges as the clear can be thin here. Especially on factory cleared cars. Started compounding it out with my rotary buffer and Menzerna FG400 compound. I will update as the progress continues. Enjoy!!

You do excellent work!
Wish you lived closer. I'd have at least 3 jobs for you.

Got all the heavy compounding done. This is just using my makita rotary with a yellow cutting pad and menzerna fg400 compound. Then washing all of the sludge off.

Yup originally from Florida. Well kept. When I first got it, it had hard water stains all over it but no major scratches.
