Just got my Blazer back from the detailer. Had the following services performed:

1. Stage 1 paint correction and paint sealant

2. Application of paint protection film to the front bumper, hood, front fenders and side mirrors

3. One layer of Ceramic coating over the entire vehicle including wheels.

All cleaned up, the Blazer is one Bad A** looking SUV.

Glad to see you taking these early steps to help keep your new car in prime condition. Did you notice many paint defects from factory? Seems Chevy did a decent job with quality assurance on this vehicle.

I can't say how many paint defects came from the factory versus the dealer. There were so many swirl and scuffs marks all over the vehicle it was ridicules. I believe most of the paint defects came from the dealer and the method they're using to wash their vehicles. All the vehicles I examined in the dealer's showroom were covered with swirl marks and scuffs. The kind that comes from poor washing technique. As someone who shows a 2017 Camaro ZL1, I'm very sensitive to paint quality. Most prospective buyers probably won't notice or care about the paint.

There was also a big scratch on the rear hatch just below the wiper that occurred during delivery. The dealer did a good job repairing the scratch and attempted to polish out the swirls and scuff marks. They didn't do a very good job on the polishing. I took the vehicle to a professional detailer that details cars all over the country. They did a fantastic job correcting the paint. It was well worth the money spent.

Picked it up detailed with ceramic coating. I get the front clear bra applied next week, and the front windows tinted to match the rears.

Fantastic blue color!!! I wanted to ask what the ceramic coating cost and also if all the imperfections, swirl marks and scuffs excetera are gone now.

It’s is ridiculous how the dealers can ruin the paint on a new vehicle. We just picked up our Blazer last week. Once I washed and detailed it, I was so disappointed in all swirls and minor scratches. Being black makes it worse.
I’ve been considering doing exactly what just had done. It looks awesome.

I bought myself a Mustang GT last summer. The dealer kept the paint mint. I think it may have never sat outside on the lot? I consider myself lucky on the mustang after what I saw what the GM dealer did to the blazer.
