2014 Chevrolet Stingray Paint Correction/Interior Detail @2,000 Miles part 1

[MR Prime Shine]

Complete interior was steamed cleaned from headliner down:


you wouldn`t think the interior carpets/mats would be this dirty with only 2,000 miles:
After the interior was cleaned then came time to start the taping process:




For whatever reason i could not get my camera set right to take good pictures of the defects, but here are some that i managed to capture :

Time to get to fixing these defects:


Working my way around the vehicle before,during and after i checked my work in certain areas of concern with my digital paint inspection tool:

This car has so many sharp raised lines my 2 inch polisher proved its worth:

Looking good! That interior bucket "water" looks gross! What did you do to get that stuff in the bucket? Extraction? Rinsing off towels?

Ah nice! Crazy how much stuff you can pull out of "new cars".

I just noticed your light stand. Does your light stand go low enough so that your bulbs can get parallel with the doors? I just got a set up like yours but the minimum height of my stand is too high to hit the doors at a good angle.

technically new since its a 2014 but they have a rough life trough the assembly line,the shipping on the trucks,the dealership detailers ,the customers test driving,last but not least the owners. the car is only "technically new" .
to answer your question yes the light tripod does go low enough so that the light is parallel to the door but when doing the kick panels or "side skirts" you may benefit from resting the light on the ground or use a halogen type work light that has the frame to sit on the ground or a headband LED strap could be used for that purpose

Nice job! Out of curiosity, are you sure all the black stuff that came out of the interior aren`t any of the fabric dyes? Most fabrics tend to bleed pretty bad the first time they come in contact with water. Just a thought .
