Hey everyone; just a couple today. First up is a C5 Z06, the pics will speak for themselves. Process:

Wash, clay

HT EC/OP via yellow @1500

HT HC via orange @ 1400

IP via white @1300

Z5pro

Nattys Blue (I had time.

).

Ya, IP finished down clean. In fact I tried 106FF first as always and it hazed. Hard paint baby.

2001 Lexus IS300, bought used and abused. This one was actually tougher than the Corvette since the paint was very uncooperative; it had a lot of deep marring too.

Process:

Wash, clay

Wetsanded hood, headlights, drivers side rear quarter. All with 3k, except hood which got 2000 then 3000.

EC/OP via wool pad @1600 (ya, big guns!)

HC via orange @ 1500

FPII via grey @1200

AJT

I didn`t take any befores of the hood because I`m a moron. It was the roughest part by far, a lot of long straight deep scratches, maybe from a snow brush?

Incredible work on the Lexus and Z06, both were amazingly fubared in the before shots. :noes: You really got the paint to look clear deep and wet on both...and your car looks terrific, really love the debadging.
