[Innovative Detailing]

Here is a project I did yesterday for one of my new customers on his 2011 C6 GS. It involved some minor paint correction and thorough prep before polishing and sealing this beauty!





Here are some before photos of this gorgeous 2011 C6 Grand Sport in this Jet Stream Blue Metallic....

Thank you for viewing my work on Rons 11 C6 GS

[maxepr1]

Nice work as usual Dave!! Love that color! Paint has a wet deep look!

[Thomas Dekany]

Very nice result! I`ve done one in that color once and it was in perfect shape.

[Dr. Woo]

That`s a great look. What products did you use to achieve that wet effect? My car is almost the exact same color.

[Tweeked SRT4]

Nice work. The car looks amazing.

[neighborsenvy]

Nice work, great color!



Dr Woo. I have a G8 as well, stryker blue is my favorite color, I have the Black. The car is the reason I got into detailing. You get scratches just looking at the car the wrong way.

[white gecko]

Looks good!



Claying in the sun doesn`t cause you any problems? Always seems to soften up my clay and make it useless.

[tssdetailing]

Man, that car looked FORGOTTEN! way to bring her back to life. Can`t imagine she had many miles on her?? Really great documentation too, bud! Soooooo-why did you do it on the street i`ve got to ask? Just to get attention?

[Dr. Woo]

Nice work, great color!

Awesome! I have to ask - I know the clear coat is thin, but is it also extremely soft? I have some minor micro-marring in my paint and I`m curious how "aggressive" I need to be to correct it.

[tssdetailing]

I absolutely love G8s! My emblem company (http://www.thirdshiftstudios.com) makes a lot of cool stuff for them. Remeber, they were painted in austrailia, not in America, two different clears. That being said, i worked on a PBM GT and it turned out great with 1 pass using a Flex, hydotech cyan pad and M105
