    Liquid Finish - E60 M5, 997 Carrera S, Macan S, 996 Turbo, Z06 Paint Corrections & Coatings

    We`ve had some nutty weather in North Carolina lately, finally sometime to post recent winter paint corrections & coatings.

    E60 M5 Interlagos Enhancement. Amazing how much of a value these V10 sedans can be. Longtime customer recently acquired, tried my best despite some major damaged areas. Black wheels are beyond annoying to deal with. Really love the interlagos metallic paint, has a special tone/pop to it.



















    Told one of my clients NOT to get another black car, but once you see a Z06 it’s hard to say no. I swear, every GM Black vehicle has DA swirling/issues straight from the factory. Solid enhancement, quick pictures with the sub zero temperatures.












    Swirled spoilers, normal!

    997 Black Carrera S, paint correction to address a huge lack of depth. Definitely taken to the wrong car washes.
























    Macan S - Frankenstein combo! Gloss coat, CAR Bulletproof, Gtechniq C4. Basically on every possible surface! Macans are very cool.













    996 Turbo, few repainted sections with obvious swirling issues. A ton of paint overspray all over this vehicle, no slickness whatsoever. Multiple painted sections caused plenty of hologramming from the factory.

    Great work on all the vehicles!

    How`d you tackle the black Corvette (correcting process)?

    Great work on all, but I`m sorta partial to the vette

    Hyper Polish with a White pad initially, removes the light defects easily. 205 & MF Finish/Cutting Pad where needed. Those paints aren`t super hard, but they heat it very fast. It`s GM black, always cursed!

    Great, thanks! I`ve got a black 2014 GMC Sierra coming up and it`s been quite a while since I worked on black GM paint.

    I find it just varies on the depth of scratches. They aren`t ridiculous to work on, I prefer the MF pads since they level fast. Very annoying though.

    No problem, just be patient. They aren`t too bad to work on.
