2006 Corvette Zo6: Someone's a proud papa

[RoadRageDetail]

Previous customer of mine decided to get a "fun" car. Dealership really tore it up before delivery. He dropped it off for the works. I didn't have a hard time wondering why.

Looks like the dealer used a lot of products to conceal swirls

Amazing correction! What products did you end up using on the Z06?

[timaishu]

Amazing! Blackcars always have the best turn arounds. One of my good friends just picked up a black 2002 mazda protege5. I cant wait to get my hands on it. Ive never polished a black car. In fact, he doesnt even know that I want to polish it. But I know it will need it. I just told him I want to detail it haha.

[rider9195]

That Corvette looks amazing!!! The gloss is so deep and reflections are clear as can be.

[CamaroSS27]

outstanding looking car!

[hoyt66]

Really nice car and really nice detail work!!

[BobbyG]

Holy Smokes, talk about a transformation! :wow:

The owner must be at a loss for words right now because his new toy looks better than new!! :props:

[ForceField]

I christen thee, Black Glass!

Thanks for the great comments. He was truly excited to get her back and keep it locked in the garage hahahahahaha


Amazing correction! What products did you end up using on the Z06?

For paint corrections, I used
Makita 9227c + LC white wool braided and white VC pads
3M rubbing compound
3M machine polish

BTW I'm ditching 3M for 105/205. If you want to know why you can read it here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/51711-frustration-3m-products-input-appreciated.html

Kinda disappointed Mike didn't respond.

Flex 3401 w/ LC black CCS pad
P085RD

Two coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond
One coat of Blackfire Midnight Sun

Thanks again guys!
