Okay guys, I have a little red corvette. This one is in for a exterior only along with an engine detail. Exterior was not in that bad of shape for the cars age, few swirls and some deep scratches but not that bad. Started off with a wash of my mix of CGWG and PC. Since this is a droptop it got the full Raggtop treatment. Degreased the engine with TAW and various brushes. Anyway this is hiw it showed up:
The owner asked me about the back window being cleaned so you could see through it. Also he wanted the engine cleaned because he was smelling oil burning and though he might have a leak. While cleaning the engine compartment I found the PCV line disconnected spraying oil vapor all over the engine compartment, hence the burning oil smell! After cleaning up and running the engine to dry no oil smell anymore! I took it in the shop and did a few test spots and settled on Flex 3401 and Menzerna PF with hydro cyan pad.
Before:
I followed up with Flex 3401 205 and hydro finish pad, came out nice!
Ready for LSP:
The back window/plasstic was in pretty bad shape, the pictures don't do it any justice!
Back outside for a wash down (CGCW) dried with blower and blotted with WW, all ready for LSP. CG ez glaze topped with BFWD. I'm really liking the the combo it seems to make BFWD really pop! I'm not a fan of glazes, but this really works good! So here's the finished product! (9 hours on the clock) Interior was just a wipe down so no pictures.
The owner was pretty stoked, thanks for looking!
