First Wash Buick GNX Detail: Waterspot Removal From Tricky Paint!

This is an extremely rare Buick GNX that unfortunately got bad water spot damage from a leaking roof. I walk-through the best tips and tricks for water spot removal and protecting very thin delicate paint. After the detail, we take an epic drive in Darth Vader's car.

As someone who was around when GNs were (nearly) new and still available and reasonable on the used market (yes, there actually was a time this was true), they were notorious for their terrible paint. It was rare to find a GN, even low mileage ones, that hadn't had a re-spray and this was when they were less than a decade old. Oh, you took care good care and only washed by hand? It's still scratched and swirled to hell. You live in a sunny climate? It's faded to death. That's how every one was, even when they were nearly new. Great job on this one.

Man, this is so timely. I just did an Explorer that was HAMMERED with water spots on the passenger side. Was able to get it glossier, but it needed wet sanding to knock out the etching. Glad you didn’t have to sand the GNX, Larry!

@gmans7859 11 ай бұрын

Yes, waiting for my neighbor to say go for it. 2018 Black Metallic Audi A4 he has let the sprinklers have their way. Fingers crossed. Last time I washed it I did a quick test spot. Seemingly don't have to wet sand.

The used pad trick is one I’ve been implementing for years. I feel like once it’s “broken in,” the individual fibers are more pliable and separate a bit more to create a more loose and “softer” surface that allows for more even distribution of a polish. Great work on the GNX, this thing is a gem!

That cleaned up nice Larry! Love the GNX. Spool and drool. The GNX also got a much nicer gauge cluster. I had a new T-Type Regal that needed a couple of panels repainted while under warranty. The assembly line paint robots were pretty new technology back then and were pretty stingy with paint coverage.

Greetings from Ramstein Air Base, Larry! I miss being able to detail vehicles for friends and select businesses back in the US (can’t wash cars in your driveway over here). But I keep up with all of the latest from your channel. My vote for the next vehicle is the NSX. This was the car that sent the folks from Ferrari and Lamborghini back to the drawing board. An exotic that one could drive without worry of failure or breakdown. Keep up the tremendous work! You have fans over here!

Awesome video, I always enjoy it, and my dream detail shop would include a big screen with your videos all playing in a random loop. Hey, a guy can dream right?

I'm pretty sure I know this exact car and have sat in it. My dad's friend was the original owner and sold it around '01 with just 1826 miles on it, and considering it was known on forum back then as the lowest mile GNX on the east coast, located in NJ, and Larry's shop not too far away from that geographic location, it's very possible. He passed away a few years ago but would have been proud to know that it's still looking this great. Larry has great attention to detail.
