Vinyl can be polished!!! Check out our vinyl restoration project!

Searching online I had found that no one had ever had any experience with polishing vinyl. So we had to try it out. One of my close friends Scion TC had a wrap installed two years ago and it was severely oxidized and swirled. So we performed this experiment to learn the effects of polishing surfaces like vinyl.

This client was looking to have the paint restored on his 2008 Pontiac G8 GT  The customer had just purchased this vehicle and was considering getting the vehicle repainted since it had become so dull due the previous owner using conveyor belt car washes. We discussed various options and the customer decided a 2 step paint correction would renew is paint color and polish would renew his paint and give it that deep shine he was looking for. After that we would seal it up with 2 coats of Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax to have it looking good all winter.

Having a dedicated soap bucket and rinse bucket both with grit guards makes an enormous difference in preventing scratching the paint while washing especially on black cars such as this one.
