This client was a referral. He contacted me a few months ago and scheduled a paint correction/coating.

This vehicle, although white, was not hiding anything! It was full of swirls and some scratches. The paint readings I received were less than stellar and I had to be on the conservative side with my approach to the correction. The paint was also the typical rock hard GM clear.

It took some time to get the combo it liked dialed in. But I found out what worked the best for me.

This vette came out glossy!! The gloss was really amped up!

Thank you for looking!




























 
Not surprisingly fantastic! I’m familiar with hard,white GM clear. My Caddy has it.

Wow, it needed M101 AND the GG creams. I love M101. It yields such great results even by hand. I’m surprised it’s not as popular as other compounds.

How did the owner like the turnaround?
 
Outstanding result! I have not DD my Corvettes for decades but they do clean up nicely.

Interesting comment, my last three Cadillac`s including my current 2016 CTS has the softest clear ever
 
Thanks for the comments everyone!

AMP01: it varies with what the paint `likes`, so I don`t have a definitive answer for you! LSP, mainly coatings nowadays.
