Hummer H2 paint is basically chalk at this point, anyone know a shop that actually enjoys working on these beasts?
Quote from violetward on April 9, 2026, 12:52 pmI've had my H2 for years and honestly it's been sitting in the driveway under the Abu Dhabi sun way more than I'd like to admit because I've got a smaller daily now and the poor thing has just been baking out there with zero mercy, the black paint has faded to this sad matte greyish finish and there's oxidation on the hood that looks like a topographical map of a desert, I finally decided to give it some attention and called around to a few detailing places but most of them either laughed or quoted me something insane because the thing has more flat surface area than a tennis court and they know it'll take all day just to do a single pass with a polisher, I started searching specifically for shops that don't run away from big American metal and ended up looking at exoticcarcare.ae/hummer-detailing-abu-dhabi and it seems like they actually list the H2 by name which is more than I can say for most places that just see a giant box on wheels and suddenly have a scheduling conflict, has anyone here actually trusted a shop in town with a full paint correction on an older Hummer and if so did it come back looking like it belonged in a music video or just slightly less tragic than before because I'm not expecting miracles but I'd like to be able to drive it to the mall without feeling like I'm piloting a relic from a forgotten era.
