Black C6 saved from the work of another detailer

[GoFast908Z]

This corvette owner sought me out to see if anything could be done to make his car look better. He had had another well known detailer in the bay area work on the car and it "just didn't look right". After about 30 sec it was obvious the previous detailer didn't know how to correctly work the hard corvette clear coat. Heavy DA haze and micro marring were present all over the car along with a few strike-throughs (when people say you can't burn with a DA....that's not exactly true). After 2 days of re-compounding and two more rounds of polishing, this C6 was back to looking sharp again!



upon arrival

lots more DA haze and micromarring

50/50 shot

After compounding

More defects. Also 1/8" 3M Fine Line tape used to protect edge that had be compromised by other detailer, keeping the burn mark from getting larger during correction work.

After

All finished and sealed with Blackfire Wet Diamond

Thanks for looking!

Exactly how black should look Jeff. Great work !!!

 

[Stokdgs]

Beautiful work, Jeff !!!

You have to wonder, how does this man go to a Detailer, and come pick this up, look at how awful the paint was, not notice the burn through/s, and Pay for It ????
That work (??) was Awful if you would even call it work at all !!!

Thanks for taking a lot of time to bring this back from the quick and the dead...

Awesome work Jeff! Was that the one that took 30 hours to fix the hood?

No Joe that was the repainted Z06

Excellent! I've done enough black C6 Corvettes to know you really earned your money on that job!

So if i was to buff my fathers 06 black C6 would you recommend this for a semi newbie with a GG6 and orange pad w/ some 3dHD Adapt ? light marring nothing crazy just normal everyday use. Or leave it alone and just keep up the clay/waxing ? I dont need perfection just something better than whats currently there. Let me know your thoughts on this paint.

Excellent turn around.

Nice work.

Those are after market lights. This coupe has had Z06/GS rear fenders and spoiler added for a "wide booty" look. Front body panels appear stock.

Beautiful correction indeed!

I wouldn't expect much from that combo.... OEM vette clear is very hard. I'd recommend MF finishing discs with D300 and M205 to do the defect removal. Then a foam pad (black or orange depending on how much marring is left) with Adapt for a finishing step.
