Re: 50th Anniversary Corvette
My brother started on the interior while Ryan and I began polishing the exterior. The paint was in pretty good shape overall, besides a few areas that had some deeper scratches. Luckily, the deeper scratches were confined to specific areas, so we decided to spot-buff these areas with the rotary using Meguiar’s 105 using an orange LC pad.
After the major scratches had been removed, we switched over to PC’s and did a one step polish by applying lots of pressure using Menzerna Power Finish and orange LC pads. This did a great job correcting the paint, despite how extremely hard Corvette paint is.
After all of the polishing was complete, Ryan and I buzzed over the exterior with the PC’s to apply a thin coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond using gold LC pads. While the sealant was curing, all tires & wheel wells were dressed with Super Blue dressing, then the exhaust tips were polished with Autosol metal polish. All windows were cleaned and received a coat of Opti-Seal.
Last but not least, Ryan and I wiped off the Blackfire using fresh microfiber towels while my brother did a final wipedown of all door, hood and trunk jambs using Optimum Gloss Enhancer to remove any remaining dust or polishing spatter.
And now for the final results!
The interior looked better than new after my brother worked his magic on it…
The engine compartment was so clean you could eat off it!
The exterior was no exception and turned out amazing for such a simple process!
It was a very cloudy and overcast day, so I wasn’t able to get many decent sun shots…
The sun came out briefly the following day, so I backed the car out for a few sun pictures…
