2009 Corvette Z06 - LuxuryMobile

2009 Corvette Z06

Was contacted by the owner to come inspect the car for a paint correction. The owner takes great care of the car and the car in great shape when we showed up. A few swirls, but mainly just light scratches from improper washing/drying. We did several different test spots on the hood and opted to go for a two step correction. We went with M105/Flat Orange Pad and M205/Flat White Pad. LSP was Fuzion.

Pictures under halogens showed minimal imperfections so only a few will be included. Overall I feel the finish gained a lot of depth.

Still beading after first wash of Dawn and APC. Took several washes to get prior protection off.

Reflection shot doesn’t show many imperfections, as there weren’t many, but the few that were present took a lot to correct

Most of the car still showed a fair amount of orange peel but the owner doesn’t mind it and doesn’t want it corrected.

I’m sure I have forgotten something. Took about 6-7 hours with two guys working with two machines so about 12-14 total man hours. This is my first write up, but from now on intend to do write ups of my work. Please share any comments or questions.
