04 C5 ZO6 gets revived and coated!

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Had a new client come in. He was originally scheduled for end of March but I had a last minute cancellation so he wanted to get it done now. This 04 Z06 has 90k on the clock and was really showing its age. He had the front bumper painted by a mutual friend which helped a ton to freshen up the front end. Then I was tasked with getting the rest of the paint in shape and ready for the nicer weather.

Prep

The car was pretty clean upon arrive so a quick ww with AMMO Frothe got it ready

Wheels/Tires

Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, LATA, Hyper dressing

Engine bay

Cleaned with Ammo Frothe, dressed with Hyper dressing

Correction- Rupes 21 Mark ll, B/S URO wool, M100. Adams swirl killer mini and Rupes Ibrid was also used. I did a quick intermediate polishing step with 3D ONE and a B/S urotec yellow pad before doing my finishing polish. I was hoping to be able to skip right to a finishing polish but it was taking too long to refine down so a quick go over with 3D one was faster in the long run.

Finishing polish- Rupes 21 Mark ll, B/S Urotec yellow, Hyper polish. Adams swirl killer mini and Rupes Ibrid was also used.

LSP- IGL Poly 1 year coating.

Awesome!! Should have never sold my C5 Z06!! Suprised the URO wool/M100 finished that bad. Could you have went with a bit heavier cut pad with the finishing polish and knocked it out in 2 steps?

Yeah I tried hyper polish on a yellow b/s pad and it worked just took a bit longer than I wanted. So I went to a yellow b/s pad with 3D ONE and it worked but left just a slight bit of micro marring. Which tbh probably wouldn't have been a big issue but it's my top pet peeve so a quick blast over with hyper polish gave it the perfect gloss and finish.

Yeah Uro wool with a 21 Mark ll and 100 left some good hazing. Fast correcting cream finished a bit nicer but was taking a bit longer to cut and was leaving some stuff behind. Switched to m100 and that mowed down the defects nicely.

Thanks Tony. Poly is really a great very user friendly coating. And provides killer gloss and depth.

Black is not a colour, it's a career. Very nice turn around.
