Black 2008 Z06 correction detail by Immaculate Reflections

[gofast908z]

A forum member parted ways with his modified C6 and recently picked up this 08 C6Z (soon to be heavily modified as well) and wanted it looking ship shape. So I got to work, and about 14 hours later it was looking much better. Finished late in the evening on day 2 so there are no sun pics, but made sure to get good halogen pics to show the correction.

Correction process:
M105 + D300 on Megs MF cutting disc
Menz SIP on LC orange pad
Menz 106FA on LC black pad

No LSP on repainted panels as they were going to be wrapped in clear film shortly. OCW on the rest of the car to provide some protection until the clear film was finished. BFWD will follow upon the film completion and full paint curing.


Upon arrival it looked pretty good. The front had been repainted, so lots of bodyshop glaze had to be removed to see the true condition of the paint.

The bodyshop left its mark here by buffing some of the texture off the rubber trim. It has a flat/dull look from the factory, and where their buffer went over it you can see the darker/shinier rubber where the texture was rubbed off.

Bodyshop compound in the crevices....

Thanks for looking!

[Marc08EX]

Awesome work Jeff! The black looks dripping wet. After detailing a black C6 Z06 myself, I really want this car. It looks sinister.

[gofast908z]

Thanks Marc! I'd love a C6Z, but just couldn't get black. It'd be silver or cyber gray for me.

[timaishu]

Silver.. :doh:

[ForceField]

Silver.. :doh:
I know right? But if he gets black it will need to be repainted every 3 months. He will strip all the paint off polishing it every 3 days. Either that or it will be a garage queen for fear of marring perfection.

[timaishu]

I have a strong dislike for the color silver. It just looks unfinished.

A silver car with chrome wheels is even worse.

[gofast908z]

Huh... I've always loved silver cars. To each their own I guess.

[fahoumh]

Wow. There's something to be said about a pristine-looking black car. Great work, man.

On a side note, I'm not a terribly huge fan of most silver coloured cars, either. To me it's kind of a "ho-hum" colour.

[BimmerFerret]

Coming from a black car (BMW) to a more silver colored car (Infiniti)...for me it was a godsend. I don't like the extended maintenance required on black cars. Some do, I'm not one of them.
