Blue C5 Commemorative Corvette
This car has barely any miles on it, but it had some paint damage on the top surfaces from being outside in the weather. It looked like the bginning stages of acid rain damage.
Interior was pretty clean to begin with.

My process:

Washed exterior, cleaned wheels, tires & engine compartment

Clayed exterior with Opti-Clay

Buffed top surfaces with 3M rubbing compound

Buffed complete exterior with IP

Buffed complete exterior with FPII

Hand application of EX

Hand application of Natty's Blue

After Pictures:

You do really good work! Even with different lighting, the improvement on the horizontal surfaces is very noticable.

More good work

Does the dealership buy your supplies for you or do you pay for them?

I was looking at the before pictures and thinking "this paint's in pretty decent shape." Then I saw the afters and was like Nice job. What dealership is that car from?

Damn, the LS vette engines are freaking beautiful. I would love one of those in my ride.
