As you know the paint on the nbs trucks is junk when they get some age on them. The roof and hoods plus the top of the fenders usually go first. If you are trying to fix or buff your nbs silverado or nbs sierra, tahoe or yukon, you need this buffer. In this video I show you how I paint correct or polish on an older truck. I love this new rupes polisher. It is so smooth. While we can't get the paint back to new, we definitely made it look presentable again. If you like to watch the before and after or satisfaction videos, this is it. I love to see paint change with a little work. I tried a couple different polishing and cutting pads as well as several different compounds. Huge difference in the paint after. If you are wanting to make your silverado or sierra paint look good this is a must watch video. OCD people like myself that are into cars can really appreciate the satisfaction that comes from buffing or polishing old paint. I am trying to keep up with AMMO NYC. Let me know what compounds work best for you and old paint. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

Definitely worth the effort, even if you end up repainting. One tip, use some compressed air and blow out the pad between passes. That way you clean our the dead paint and anything else you picked up before going back down on the paint. Plus, the pad will cut better when it's cleaner.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I actually was blowing out the pad outside between cuts

[@jeffgraham48]

Looks alot better. I really like that truck.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. It's getting better

[@The_Nomad_Detailer]

Just ran across this video. As a professional detailer for about 20yrs, water is fine with the paint quality you are working on now....however, on paint that is fairly nice please do not use just water! Soap is honestly what I use in any situation for clay baring. detail spray is not good to use either, because most detail sprays have sealants, waxes or protectants in them so it makes polishing harder. Nice job though brother! You are using the best pads & polishes as well. That's all ive used. M105 and all that does not come in my shop anymore LOL. PRO TIP> Iron remover is nice to use as a claybar lube as well. 😉, also, BIG pro tip, with paint as heavy oxidized as you have here, blow out your pad with compressed are after every time you get done polished before you polish another area. if you dont all your doing is spreading all the dead paint you just buffed off, back on to the paint somewhere else and working against yourself, not so much for efficiency, but for better results. But dude you did a great job!! it looks WAAAY better!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@staleyexplores]

yeah that's a massive difference, I'd be happy driving that truck looking that good.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. It is better

[@danorourke5184]

That looks a lot better, but black is a different animal for sure! No matter how nice the paint is it’s hard to get black perfect. I had probably the nicest 02 rcsb Silverado in black and it just wore me out keeping it looking good so I sold it. Now I’m looking for a another in any color but black or dark blue! Thanks for sharing another informative video!

[@TWAMotorsports]

I agree. Dark blue is just as bad though. Green one is the same way.

[@asvpxmi6uel]

Looks alot better for sure. Im still old school i worked in body shops in the late 90s and early 2000s back then it was only 7inch polishers with 3m compounds white blue black I still have my same polisher from 20 plus years ago.

Yeah the old school rotary can burn thru quick

[@TWAMotorsports]

That is a great way to practice

[@larrydeaton5452]

I grew up in my dad’s body shop. The buffer we used was a huge pneumatic with wool pads. You are exactly right, it would burn through the paint if you stayed in one place too long. Been there done that!

[@frankm8533]

@@larrydeaton5452 Damn right that wool pad heats up fast and on corners or edges it will toast some paint

[@larrydeaton5452]

Looks good Travis. I’m like you, I would want to get the hood and roof painted. But you can deal with it for a while without it driving you nuts. Keep up the good work. Have a great weekend.

[@grissom.]

great work, i have a tip for you. after each pass blow out your pad with compressed air. that will remove the build up in the bad and reduce dusting and give you a better cut. use your microfiber or wool pad first with the compound then follow up with a foam polish pad and polish. i have a 03 rcsb z71 sierra also black. i preformed a 50 hour paint correction on mine and people think the truck was repainted. i added a full center console into mine and wanting to go back to the jump seat, i miss the extra space. if you know of anyone having one for trade or for sell let me know!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I was blowing out the pad but didn't show that. Btw that is exactly why I am not doing a console in this one.

With my DeWalt buffer at 2500rpm to cut the paint and scratches and old paint fade... Then I use my rupes orbital buffer with 3d green swirl remover and polish at minimum speed on my rupes orbital buffer.. it comes out nicely when finished.. everyone has there own preference..

You made that truck look brand new

[@TWAMotorsports]

Not brand new but definitely better

[@timcastro7328]

So i heard u mention u use a Griots polisher. Have u looked into their compounds an polishes? We started using them where i work an i gotta say I’m very impressed. It’s there BOSS lineup. Best of show series is what it stands for, but anyways they have a 3 step compound an polish. 1st step is a orange label 2nd step is a yellow label Then finish off with a black pad an black label bottle. An the pads are the same color as the bottle label. Orange yellow an black. Also have a microfiber pad and white pad if u need a more aggressive cut. Makes the paint shine an brings an amazing depth to it.

[@timcastro7328]

Also their stuff is water based so it doesn’t leave a big mess and the powder isn’t nearly as bad. Anyways i Absolutely love the way the truck is looking though lol.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I did try their stuff. It isn't bad. I think you just get use to results with what you are comfortable with and never change. Lol

Another fantastic video by TWA Motorsports. I normally only follow the truck and suv videos. And just what i needed to see since im going to be restoring the paint of my late father's tahoe but ill be using meguiar's ultimate line. And maybe my ls400 could use some TLC too. The poor thing has been sitting for about two years and and hasnt been washed in probably triple that. Also im not sure if this is your type of work. But have you ever fixed paint chips?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. It's looking better. I may do some chip fixing at some point

Black paint shows everything worse color for body work if you are not on top of your game and even worse color to try and bring back after sitting for some time.

[@TWAMotorsports]

That's for sure

[@JesusOrtiz-qp1so]

You would of got better results if you wet sand with at least 2000 but your does types of guys that don’t want to try that because the clear is to thin well the paint on the truck is pretty much far gone so way not trying it with 2000 sand paper your not going to do anything with the clay bar

[@TWAMotorsports]

I agree. Wet sanding would have speed up the results
