Rasky's Auto Detailing: '66 Corvette 427/425hp wet sand and buff

Looking at the finish when you got it I would never have thought that it would turn out that good.

The 63 to 67 Vettes have always been my favorite Corvette body style. And it must have been incredibly satisfying to look at it when you finished.

What a car!
 
Two 6's is cracking me up. He has obviously discovered search.

Excellent work Chad. Did you happen to get the specs on those wheels anyways? They look to be 16x8's maybe?
 
Awesome job. That was some sad looking paint right there.

Do you mind me asking what grits, and techniqe you used to wet sand?
 
great work on the car. lets see 22 hours at a $100 a hour,, $2200 ,,, oh and those are the worst wheels of all time,,,,,, that is a killer car and you did a very nice job on it, looks awesome, thanks for sharing your pics ..

My process for wet sanding and correction was as follows:

Wash - Optimum No rinse

Clay - Meguiar’s Mild Clay/Last Touch

Wet sanding - Initial cutting was done with Meguiar’s 2000 grit sand paper, followed by 3000 grit.

Step 1 - Meguiar’s M105 via rotary and a Solo heavy cut wool pad.

Step 2 - Meguiar’s M105 via rotary and orange Classic LC foam pad.

Step 3 - Finishing was done with Meguiar’s M205 via rotary and a Meguiar’s W9207 foam finishing pad. (M205 finished off VERY well on this car and I saw no improvements by following it with PO85RD or UF)

All sanding was done by hand.
 
Awesome job correcting the paint surface. The Corvette looks amazing. I never seen a Corvette whith those wheels before. If I remember correctly those are Niche Neptune wheels from around 97'
