The Can Am Corvette Project coming this Thursday has a lot of swirls. I have some new compounds and polishes to test out and I'm going to need some people that are proficient with the rotary buffer, so if that sounds like you then plan to be here for this exciting extreme makeover. We'll also need people to run the DA Polishers and the Flex 3401 Forced Rotation Dual Action Polishers


Massive, horrendous swirls throughout the clear coat...

Plus I think the Swirl Girls, Amy and Janna will be here to help wipe-off the wax and add the finishing touch plus I think Amy is bringing a new friend?

When it comes to swirls, the Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light (http://www.autogeek.net/brinkmann-swirl-finder-light.html) and these two girls are hard to please...



We'll start at 5:00pm sharp!

We have you, Robert and myself on rotary buffers and I'll have at least 3-4 other guys that will be following us with either a Flex 3401 or a DA Polisher.

Matt and Nick, here at Autogeek will probably stick around and help too...


New compound and polish formulas to test out...
The previous versions of the compounds and polishes we're going to use work great and from what I've been told over the phone, these new versions are even better, so my confidence is already high that we'll be able to tackle this project in the allotted time.

Plus this isn't factory paint, it's a custom paint job and more often than not custom paint is softer than factory Corvette paint.


I'll have everything set-up before anyone arrives,


Rotary buffers, pads and backing plates ready to go...
Flex 3401s with pads and backing plates ready to go
PC, GG and Megs DA's with pads and backing plates ready to go...
I have at least one returning student, Virgil, from one of my Detailing 101 classes attending and he has his own detailing business so he's going to be a real asset to the project.


This will be the last Thursday night class for a couple of weeks as I'll be traveling next week and out of town. Not sure about the first week of October but the second week I'll be out of town again.

Looking forward to having you here and now I'm getting hungry... :props:

Cool. Looking forward to your help already... this will be a fun and challenging project.


I'm going to stay late and get the mats cleaned and placed over the RaceDeck tiles tonight, Dave, the owner of the Corvette says he'll be here right at 5:00pm so I'll make sure we have everything ready to go.

We're about 24 hours away and the fun begins...
