There were no swirls (cob webbing) but these very deep scretches all over the car.

I would bet a cold beer that the "detailers" used a green wash brush on that paint. I see it all the time on "dealer" recoveries.



Nice detail!



How'd you like that clear? :D
 
12 hours on that Vette is a helluva work day, but you really turned that around. WHat a beauty. It's amazing how people can mar such beautiful cars!
 
Oh yes, Much better now....



Its good to know that when a vette is really bad I am not the only one that takes a long time to do it right.
 
Did the other detailers use a rake to clean the car?! :( Amazing turnaround. Time well spent and hopefully equally paid. I absolutely love the color!
 
Yeah, great job! The sorry state of the car "before" makes me cringe at what some people call "detailing."



Guess I better give my Fairfax-based brother a heads-up.
 
thanks everyone! I am going back on the 19th to add another layer of protection. I will be taking care of his car from now on. :)



Chris: I charge by the hour, so it was a pretty good pay day.



Hey, Moe! - have your brother call me! :D

This paint was pretty tough and I am not the fastest for sure. I hate to remove more clear then I have to.
 
I think it's a combination of the fiberglass body and, maybe, something to do with the paint they use. I don't know thought, but they seem universally really hard.



tdekany - damn man. I am rarely mouth agape when going through these threads. Excellent work and great documentation.
 
DSVWGLI DieselMDX 2000firebird - thank you guys!



Picus - thank you too, but I think that I do a horrible job documenting my work. I type slow so I do the minimum I can. :D
 
:eek: :wow: Not only impressive swirl/defect removal but I see no rotary holograms after compounding and polishing. Looks superb in the afters.
