Here are some pictures of Corvette`s that I have detailed over the past few months or so that I haven`t had the time to post up individually. As most of you know, I work for an exotic car dealership that also specializes in late model, low mile Corvette`s, so I detail more Vette`s than any other kind of car (which isn`t a bad thing I guess). I decided to make one big post with a brief description of the process and a few pictures of each car instead of 10 seperate posts. I will probably add to this every few days with more cars.
Here you go:

Are you using a rotary on these jobs. I worked on an Electron Blue ZO6 over the weekend and was amazed at how hard the clear was on that car.

A rotary was used on all the cars.
Corvette`s are known for having extremely hard clear which makes it difficult to remove imperfections. Did you use a PC or do you use a rotary as well?

I started with a PC and cut pad...and was amazed with now little progress I was making so I broke out the rotoary and PG which worked much better. I try to use the rotary as little as possible as even after a couple of years worth of use as a weekend warrier I`m still not as proficient as I`d like to be with it.
