    Black C6 saved from the work of another detailer

    This corvette owner sought me out to see if anything could be done to make his car look better. He had had another well known detailer in the bay area work on the car and it "just didn`t look right". After about 30 sec it was obvious the previous detailer didn`t know how to correctly work the hard corvette clear coat. Heavy DA haze and micro marring were present all over the car along with a few strike-throughs (when people say you can`t burn with a DA....that`s not exactly true). After 2 days of re-compounding and two more rounds of polishing, this C6 was back to looking sharp again!



    upon arrival
















    lots more DA haze and micromarring








    50/50 shot












    After compounding






    More defects. Also 1/8" 3M Fine Line tape used to protect edge that had be compromised by other detailer, keeping the burn mark from getting larger during correction work.




    After











    All finished and sealed with Blackfire Wet Diamond





























    Thanks for looking!

    Beautiful work, Jeff !!!

    You have to wonder, how does this man go to a Detailer, and come pick this up, look at how awful the paint was, not notice the burn through/s, and Pay for It ????
    That work (??) was Awful if you would even call it work at all !!!

    Thanks for taking a lot of time to bring this back from the quick and the dead...

    Nice work.

    Why are the head lights round ??

    Re: Black C6 saved from the work of another detailer

    So if i was to buff my fathers 06 black C6 would you recommend this for a semi newbie with a GG6 and orange pad w/ some 3dHD Adapt ? light marring nothing crazy just normal everyday use. Or leave it alone and just keep up the clay/waxing ? I dont need perfection just something better than whats currently there. Let me know your thoughts on this paint.

    Those are after market lights. This coupe has had Z06/GS rear fenders and spoiler added for a "wide booty" look. Front body panels appear stock.

    Beautiful correction indeed!
