Hi Mike,
Cool classroom car, as always!
Just wondering:
Does this vehicle have a SS,
or BC/CC, paint system?

Re: Surprise Car for this weekend's Competition Ready Detail Class!
Hi Bob,
This Corvette has a basecoat/clearcoat finish.
The Baggie test shows the paint to be as rough as sandpaper too.
The car looks great when not in the sun or without a Swirl Finder Light on it. Besides the swirls and contamination this car was just shipped to Stuart in an enclosed car hauler with a car cover on it and despite being in a car hauler the car cover rubbed against the paint and scuffed and scratched it.
The owner tried rubbing some rubbing compound to the paint by hand and that just added to the swirls and scratches.

Thanks for the information Mike.
Can't wait to see the final results.
