Had a customer get in contact with me about doing her and her husbands 2007 Corvette. He said they have had it a few years now and the "swirlys" were really starting to bother him. So we discussed what could be done. I informed him we could do some paint correction on it and get it looking good again. He then doubted the swirls could be removed and was just hoping for it to shine again.
Well after him doubting they would come out I knew I had to get down to buisness and get this thing looking great again! I took delivery of the car at 8AM on Friday morning and got to work. I was a little crunched for time to get it done the same day so not many befores or action pictures sorry! there was a lot of rain on the radar comming my way so I got right o work on giving it a good wash and doingt he barrell of the wheels and the tires a good scrub. After that is turned into night time at 10AM!
Tarminator on a shop rag doing its thing
trunk jamb filthy
and some nasty exhasut tips
safe in the garage from the rain, wind and small hail!
After the wash I pulled it in the garage to inspect the condition of the paint. and boy was this thing HAMMERED! I could see why these were bothering him and why he doubted me lol. I knew right away I was going to have to go with my trusty Menzerna FG400 followed up by SF4000. I started a test section with FG400 on a microfiber pad and did not like the results at all I then changed it up to the orange Uber foam pad for 2 passes and was very pleased. followed that by the SF4000 on a green uber pad the results were stunning and made for some dripping wet black paint! So I has my process and got down to hitting the entire car with 2 passes of FG400 and one go of SF4000.
This is what I had to work with over the entire car. Sorry my pictures do no justice! camera on my galaxy 3 is all I had
SF4000 putting on its serious face lol

From here on I put my headphones on and got to polishing and doing the detail work. Forgot to take many pictures sadly. So the rest are a mix and match of progress.
