My neighbour had me do his new-to-him Corvette last year:

Unfortunately, he took it into the dealership from where he purchased it for an oil change. The technician (so many other descriptive nouns come to mind instead of that word) splattered oil on the RF fender. So, what's he do? Takes his filthy shop rag and goes about wiping the whole thing down. My neighbour saw it happen luckily. He wouldn't let them touch it any further "ya, we can fix that!". First up I washed it using the new CarPro ECH2O. Wow, I love that product! I'll be using that on my Lincoln instead of ONR. For correcting the scratches, I ended up using TLC (The Last Cut) compound for the first time on this car. It took some playing to see how it would work best for me, but I was immediately impressed with this product. Here's the light scratches the tech did:
Here's the unassuming hero:
Here it is under the lights:
I followed up TLC with M205 and an orange B/S pad then went to Essence and a white LC pad. I wanted it as stunning as the rest of the car was. It was then double coated with Finest. I then went over the rest of the car with Essence +. Dripping bloody wet.
Exhaust tips were done with Collinite metal wax:
The wheels were done by hand with Essence + too:
Outside shot of the repair area:
Thanks for looking.
