Black C5 gets a 2 step paint correction

[gofast908z]

Nothing too crazy here, forum member wanted to get his daily C5 taken care of and looking better. It was pretty rough but a 2 step correction got it looking much better. Process was M101/D300 MF cutting disc, Menz SIP, LSP was Blackfire Wet Diamond.

Heavy waterspots plagued this car

After correction it was brought out for a few sun pics and then a wash to remove compounding and polishing dust.

After final wash, windows and all jambs wiped down, and sealant applied, final results....

Thanks for looking

[spiralout462]

Beautiful work and pictures!

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Wow. Incredible work. That is how black is supposed to look.

[CM8 6MT]

Incredible turn around, that paint was BAD. Good work! +1

[cartman57]

Hood reflection with all 7 suns is amazing.
Great job, finished up beautiful.

[Alexrd79]

Nice Job!!!!!!

[VroomVroom]

Absolutely beautimuous - excellent work, and thanks for sharing the write up and pics. The seven-suns shot made my day.

[MarkD51]

Gorgeous, you made that car very respectable looking again, a beauty I'd be proud to own.

With the water spotting, I had that happen once to one of my vehicles. 10 minutes time, of pause, and thinking I had more time to wipe caused exactly what you shown in your pics.

By hand, they are a bear to remove! Mark

Will always be a huge lover of Vettes with Hideaways!

Something IMO they should've never gotten away from.

[Pureshine]

Wow great job! Next time I want to see 50/50 shot :)

[Pinpoint_Precision]

Great work. Thanks for sharing.

[Johny B]

Great work.

[gofast908z]

Wow great job! Next time I want to see 50/50 shot :)

I usually do the 50/50 but on this one i was pressed for time so pics were minimal.

Fantastic work and combination of pad/polish. Very cool 7 suns pic.

Why did you paint a tree on the hood?

In all seriousness... GREAT WORK! :props:
