ScheerSpeed Detailed: 360 Forged Corvette C6

Red Corvette C6

I was called to come out and inspect this car one day because it had been in a shop and had gotten some overspray that needed removal. Upon inspecting the car, i found there were some light swirls, along with RIDS in a few isolated spots. I decided that a two-stage polishing job would get the car to 99% perfection, and the owner agreed, so i got to work.

The brinkmann dual xenon light shows the true finish, just like the sunlight, however the metallic red color makes it difficult to photograph.









Before/after of the tail lights. the owner requested that i remove the black fire covers
