That's the nice thing about the vette, the hard paint helps swirls from returning easily, like on a honda. Great job.

Amazing Job Gary. Your detail put the icing on the cake for me, we chatted about po85rd when you detailed a Nissan 350z that was red, a while ago. I will add menzerna po85rd to my next order.rops:

Nice, Gary! I'm surprised - for 2 years since its last polish, that paint was in pretty good shape!

sick, just sick. nice work

 

[Gary Sword]

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Even though the paint was in pretty good shape to begin with I ended up spending almost as much time on this correction as one with paint in much worse shape. After getting all the light scratches out with PO85RD using a LC Kompressor Lite Cutting pad I did another pass over the whole car with PO85RD with a LC Kompressor Jeweling pad.

Nice, Gary! I'm surprised - for 2 years since its last polish, that paint was in pretty good shape!

I'm very happy with how the car paint looked considering it had been 2 years since I polished it. It really didn't have any swirls in the paint just some random scratches that were starting to bug me in certain lighting.

When I purchase the car new the dealer had it for almost a month and it was in their showroom. It didn't look bad under their showroom lighting but when I got it home and went over it with my halogens it already had lots of swirls. The dealer did more damage to the paint with their poor washing techniques in a month than I did in 2 years.

Even though the car's not a dailey driver I have probably washed it about 50 times since I purchased it. It's always been washed using a white Schmitt and Poorboy's Super Slick and Studs. Almost totaly dried using a leaf blower than I very light go over any remaining water spots with a microfiber.

Wow looks so bad arse! Damn the tapping off must have taken forever?

I didn't time how long it took me to tape it up but of all the cars I have this one requires the most taping. I think I was out in the garage a couple of hours taping the night before I starting polishing it.
