10 year old Vette looks NEW!

[imported_DJ Mayo]

Hey guys, was contacted by a member on here. I'm sure he will be on this thread sometime. Thanks again Tommy, it was a joy to meet you. Car was previously detailed by a place in Va beach and wasn't up to our standards. There were 4-5 spots on the car where there were deep scratches, heavy swirls and seems maybe the previous detailer got something in the pad and made it worst. Overall, I received about 95% or so defect free and was amazed because I only had about 10 hours total for the car. This paint was alot easier to work with than almost every other Corvette I have done. Also owner had a car meet to go to so we went for alot of that caranuba shine and here soon I will go down to apply Z-5pro for durability.



Also, NOTE* the holograms were removed as this was after the compounding stage.



Owner washed with Dawn and clay barred the night before I arrived.



Process:



95% HTEC 5% M9 via orange pad @ 1800 RPM

M83 via white pad @ 1700 RPM

OPS via white pad @ speed 6 PC

CG EZ Cream Glaze via black 3M pad @ speed 5 PC

M26 via black 3M pad @ speed 5 PC

Z6 wipedown

NXT 2.0 via black 3M pad @ speed 5 PC

Z8 wipedown

I'm glad he found someone to correct another hack detail. Who was the detail shop down here? To my knowledge there is only one detail shop that I would trust my car with down here. Lots of weekend detailers here from the local forums also. But the majority of them only know wash/wax. I'm still the trusted go to detailer around here which makes me smile and keeps me busy.



Next time if your down here, and you need an extra hand, let me know. Well get some work done!
