This corvette owner sought me out to see if anything could be done to make his car look better. He had had another well known detailer in the bay area work on the car and it "just didn't look right". After about 30 sec it was obvious the previous detailer didn't know how to correctly work the hard corvette clear coat. Heavy DA haze and micro marring were present all over the car along with a few strike-throughs (when people say you can't burn with a DA....that's not exactly true). After 2 days of re-compounding and two more rounds of polishing, this C6 was back to looking sharp again!

More defects. Also 1/8" 3M Fine Line tape used to protect edge that had be compromised by other detailer, keeping the burn mark from getting larger during correction work.

Not all detailers are created equal.... and this is perfect example! Thanks for sharing. Mess averted!
 
Looks fantastic. Great job.

Were the short tightly packed swirls the key to diagnosing DA haze/micro marring?
 
Looks beautiful, I corrected one a while back that's some hard paint!
