Locked in overnight at the dealership.....lots to do

If you didn't take all those pictures, you would have been done by 1:00 AM!

Isn't being locked in a violation of both local fire codes and OSHA? :buffing:

I'm not even a big vette fan and I'm jealous! Can you list some of the compound/polish/pad combos you used?

With the hard clear of Vettes, the choice was pretty easy.... Products used: MF cutting and finishing discs, Surbuf pads, LC tangerine and black pads, M101, M105/300, SIP, PO203, and 106FA.
 
imagine if he ordered food for that night, good job with the dealership. Pictures show good work

Oh how I wish.... There was a silver '13 Z06 2LZ with the Cup wheels and Pilot Sport Cup tires that I was trying not to drool on.

Crazy how many scratches were on "new" cars. Great job and thanks a lot for all the pics!

Looks like you used a couple of different DA polishers. Do you mind commenting on the likes/dislikes about each?

Thanks!

The Rupes Bigfoot 21 is the workhorse and defect decimator....

The GG 6" is my preferred choice for medium and fine polishing

The Megs G110v2 I use primarily with 3"-4" pads for precision work in tight spaces. Sometimes if its really tight I'll use the GG 3".

Normally I set up my tripod for nice shots, but this time almost all shots were done quickly by hand so there was maybe 15 min of total picture time taken over that 12hrs.

I'm using the term Locked-in loosely. Doors were locked and security measures in place. I did have a way out in an emergency though, so I don't think there were any 'code' violations.
 
That must have been one tiring night! Appreciate the pictures. Are you the dedicated detailer for this dealership or do they call you for specific services?

No, I am no way involved with their detail dept.
 
I haven't really been following this thread, other than to look at the initial post...but seeing the title come up again in the active threads...somehow made me think of Night at the Museum :p
 
The fact that they locked you in overnight says a lot for your work and your company. Great job, and damn, what herd of Vettes. I've never seen that many at one dealership.
