Late to this detail;
Better late than never!
Is detailing Corvette GM paint, especially black, "different" because it is over a fiberglass-composite material than if it were over metal panels? That is to say, does it "behave" differently during the correction-polishing processes, and if it does, what do YOU do to work with or compensate for that
It`s generally rock hard. And yes, glass/carbon fiber, aluminum, steel all behave differently, mainly with how they `take` heat and dissipate it. So that will make whatever polish/compound/etc you are using behave differently/work times/etc.
I also see the Harbor Freight HC109B Forced Rotation polisher (HF-HcFR) is getting a workout since its purchase by you in mid July 2023. Its usage seems to supplant your "former" go-to polishing tool, the Flex VG-3401 (aka the Beast). Must be really good for you to keep using it and that you are, indeed, getting used to its polishing characteristics. I will take the liberty to reference you post on this polishing machine for those who might be interested in your initial assessment of this tool:
https://www.autopia.org/forums/deta...rotation-polisher.html?highlight=#post2194140 I will go on record and say that I truly love that machine.
VERY nice detailing workmanship on this Corvette. As many long-time Autopians used to say on really hammered and swirled vehicles that were painstakingly corrected and detailed , "NICE SAVE!"
Yes, thank you!
AND my usual Captain Obvious remark "What, ANOTHER Darth Vader vehicle from his collection detailed by Sizzle Chest?!"
(Cannot say "May the
22ple Mistico Elemto Forte be with you" anymore, as that is no longer your coating of choice! But I digress....)
