I've never seen a pic pick up the detail of the pig tails / RIDS like those above. You can actually see the depth to them. That's some serious damage you were able to correct.

Heres my hack story I get highly recommended to a potential cust he calls with tree sap all over the top ( hood,roof and trunk ) of his 2 month old car i go and give an estimate he wants to think about it so I leave, 2 days pass I give him a call he says I got someone from the penny saver and hell do it for $25 less says if I match his price I get the job, I thank him and politely refuse wishing him well. Two weeks later he calls and wants me to look at his car again the pennysaver detailer used brillo to remove the sap. Gave him the number of a reputable body shop but warned him it may be a bit pricey his reply "I dont care I guess a lower price isnt always a bargin"

This is exactly why I have "I fix $79 details" on my website.

The biggest hacks around here are the dealerships, CarMax is especially bad. Just stuns me that places where the presentation of the product (vehicles) is so important allow their employees to trash paint jobs so bad. I guess I should look at it as job security but it is still frustrating to see some of the vehicles I run across.

My first choice was a PC/M105/surbuf pad and it worked great.

Followed with M205/PC/classic flat LC black pads from CMA.

You may need to block the hood with 2K grit, but you should be able to get away with polishing out with Power Gloss and a wool pad. Then you'll also have to finish with SIP and Nano.

Thanks Kevin! Without your methods, I would not be able to do this kind of correction with a PC.

Not to play blame-the-victim, but I find it kinda odd that somebody left a perfect stranger alone in their garage, working on their new 'vette like that

gmblack3a- Great work

Which size SurBuf did you use?

Amazing how good those two polishes are, amirite?

Looks absolutely beautiful.
