After a few hours of elbow grease I was able to bring out a pretty nice shine..

Very nice. Good looking and straight for 167000. Don't see alot of paint jobs still able to do that after 6 years.

Looks good! Now you just need to get rid of that god awful molding, the badges, and add some clears!

Yeah....I know the molding isn't the greatest but hey it's stock, clean and runs good....

WTH "Badges" are you talking about, and WTF are "Clears"

Badges are the plates that say BLAZER on them

Clear lenses... Instead of the ugly orange blinker/parking, get clears... ere are some examples. You will notice no orange

W/out fogs.

w/ fogs

And here's a side shot without pinstripes or that ugly molding. (most of us remove it)

Now all you have to do is remove those ugly side rails and detail the frame rails, and tires abit and she'd be perfect.....

Very nice, and like the looks of the "clears", etc.....far as the molding goes, well I suppose removing them looks good too, never really thought about it..until now.

BTW can't see it in the photos, but used your technique to bring a real nice shine on the plastic (windshield/wiper area) and in the back by the lift glass...looks really nice.

Actually the nerf bars stay, (they were re-straigtened with a jack, lol... That said, I've sinced rhino-lined the frame. Looks a whole lot better
