AJ Auto Detail - Black Corvette Correction

[AjNavo61490]

Got a call from this client in November. He just picked up this Corvette off of a 2-year lease. He was looking at the 370z's, but couldn't find a black on black one anywhere locally. So, he found this car and fell in love with it at first sight. This car got a wash/seal with CG JetSeal in mid November while he waited for the full correction job over the winter break (after final semester exams :props:). Anyways, december comes around and so does the Corvette. The paint was in TERRIBLE condition, worst buffer trails I have ever worked on! The marks from the previous "detailer's" buffer left pigtails ALL OVER THE CAR. Some were so deep, wetsanding was needed (2000, 3000). My camera was dead when I was doing the correction work, but got a few quick shots with my iphone to show the drastic change in the paint. Got about 95% correction, which was more than what the owner expected/actually wanted. I can safely say, he was very happy Im the MAN.

Process:

Engine w/ Chemical Guys Grime Reaper and Chemical Guys Fade2Black
Wash w/ Chemical Guys Citrus Wash + Gloss
Wheels w/ Chemical Guys Wheel Gel
Tires and Wheel Wells w/ Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser
Clay w/ Chemical Guys Mild Clay and Chemical Guys Luber
Correction w/ Meguiar's M105/PFW and Menzerna 106FA/White.
Seal w/ Chemical Guys JetSeal.
Exhaust w/ Chemical Guys Metal Shine
Tires w/ Chemical Guys Extreme Shine
Interior had a basic wipedown, vacuum, and windows clean.

Before & After M105/PFW:

I switched back and forth a little between this job. For the flat surfaces and wetsanding correction, I used my Makita Rotary. But, since the corvette has lots of weird angles, I mostly stuck with the PC.
