MONSTER C6 Corvette

What amazing before and after shots! The results are remarkable and the documentation is superb! :props: :props:
 
Great work. What was your correction process? I have a black C6 right now that is proving to be a lot more challenging than any other C5 or C6 I've corrected.
 
Beautiful Work, Stunning Results, Awesome Garage,

And the best light stand I have seen.....

Can you please, please, please post some pictures of the stand?

Orange Hex Pad, V32, White Hex Pad, V36. They have pretty hard paint but it scratches so easily.

Any reason you use those instead of a dual 500 w halogen setup? I think those are 70$ish versus you said 450$ for yours.

I use these for working lights. Guys use the halogen lights because they give you that point source of light that aids in seeing swirls. I detail in Houston texas and 8 months of the year it is FAR too hot to sit in front of Halogen lights. My approach is to BLAST the entire work space with massive broad light. On the mobile light is a simple light switch, I flick it off and on my head is a lamp for seeing swirls. But I find EVERY other detailing process to be entirely easier and faster with big bright lights.
 
Excellent work, and superb documentation to complement the results. Keep up the good work.

Do you remember what fixtures and bulbs you used in the light stand?

Okay, thanks for the response. The bulbs that you currently have in the fixtures, are they bright enough to highlight swirls in the paint or do the lights just act as a nice working aid?
Thanks
 
Excellent work. What were you using to clean around the emblems wit the q-tips?

Thanks for the pics
 
Very well done. A man who knows his craft knows the sheer level of work that 38hrs truly involved. Definitely not for the faint of heart or the faint of skill. Well executed to quite a high level. Kudos.

I find that for most paint, if you position the light far enough away, the light stand becomes a swirl finder light. My experience in photography lends the insight into this. The further away the light source from what your viewing, the less "soft" it is. The further away it is the harsher and more of a point source it becomes. I've found them very good to work under. Im in Houston and detailing in the summer it gets HOT. The last thing I want to do is stand in front of 1000W of halogen.
