My friend's dad's Corvette needed some lovin'. After swirl mark pics sent to me by my friend, I offered my services, for cheap, because he's a good friend and his dad is a good guy. There are a lot of process pics missing, because my buddy's phone died.

When I arrived

Let's get started! The paint was still beading, which is nice. But I killed it with some CG Citrus Wash and Gloss and Iron- X

Tires: Pinnacle Black Onyx tire gel gets a thumbs up from me! :props:

Working in the Menzerna FG400

Topped with Chemical Guys Blacklight, applied using PC 7424XP and red wax pad, appliesd thin, looks like the gloss after the polish overpowered my thin coat. I applied 2 coats, as was recommended

The Blacklight was topped with Jetseal, as were the wheels and exhaust tips

Here's the final product, look at what the "wing" at the back of the luggage rack did to my white pad :pc7424:

That stupid luggage rack, so much hand polishing had to be done.

Interior wasn't bad, a quick vacuum and some Lexol set it straight
