2002 Vette - full correction detail

I apologize about the pictures, especially the afters. I finished at 9pm and it was just too dark to get any good ones.

It was really hard to capture the imperfections as well except for one.

Before

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I finally got to see someone use 105 or 95 with a DA on a vette. That's amazing that you only had to use 1 step of that detail with a rotary. Could you summarize your results with 95 and how it worked on the vette paint with the DA?

Looks great Thomas! Does he store the cars in those tents? I see a nice looking 3rd gen F body in the background.

Not sure what made me try the 95 but on this paint it worked very well. Thanks to how well EC finishes. Didn't dust much esther (95)

This car stays in the garage up front. The son owns that red car. The 2004 black Vette stays under here.

Outstanding as always, Thomas.

Did you explain to the owner the back end of the car is not a shelf?

The car looks so much better after your excellent paint correction work and would really love to see the car outside the shade, I believe it will look amazing.
