This job came as a referral from the 2009 Corvette I detailed about a month ago. Thanks Mark for the referral.
This was not a full correction detail. The owner of this car has owned black cars before and knows that keeping this black finish perfect on an almost daily driver, is nearly impossible. My original thought was just a PWC blue and top with a LSP. As I was washing the car I saw that I needed to do more to the finish as far as swirl removal. This took a little longer than expected. The work was performed at his shop which had an isolated wash bay complete with water and electric and plenty of room to move around. I have to say the finish is not perfect, but has so much more clarity and more life than it did prior to the polish process. The customer was thrilled and very satisfied with the job.
Process as follows
Wash – 2 bucket method – PB’s SS&S – MF wash mitt (from PB’s)
Dry – using PB’s WW mf towels and Metro Blo and Vac
Clay – yellow Ricardo using PB’s S&W mixed 50:50 with water
One step – M105 mixed 2:1 with PB’s PWC blue using Flex and CCS 6.5” white polishing pad
After correction – The car got another bath due to dusting using the same wash process as above
LSP – 2 coats of 4* UPP
Tires dressed with PB’s B&B
