So this gentleman happens to be the brother of the guy with the black 997 I just did. Guy with 997 was so impressed with the correction done on his car, he immediately recommended me to his brother John. John recently purchased a 2006 Black Sapphire Metallic M6 that needed a good bit of love. The previous owner was a doctor, who really didn't give this special car the care it deserved. The hood had been repainted, and the rest of the car was not covered properly. As a result, there were substantial areas with overspray on upper portion of the driver's side door and rocker panel. These defects are illustrated and corrected in the pictures. After thorough inspection, we decided on a multi stage correction to give this black beast the looks to match the V10's tremendous power. After about two and a half days, the transformation was complete!

Moving south to the rocker panels, these areas are often neglected and take a beating being so close to the road

I ended up working from the rear of the driver's side quarter back toward the door

50/50 shots. Proper compounding literally is like peeling away a dead layer of skin

Entire quarter panel after compound only

Before moving to the rear portion of the car I decided to focus on the roof area of the car. These carbon roofs get messed up easily due to the soft clear coat used. The upside though, is that they correct very nicely!





Stain on the roof. Easily compounded out

Working in taped off sections allows me to be concise and keep the buffer in a segregated area, with no chance of wandering.

Next up was the rear end of the car. This is another area that takes a beating.

Beautiful job.



I know this detail is about a month old, but I was curious. As you can tell from the pictures, you get some heavy dusting. What is your favorite way of removing that when it is on a panel you are about to correct on? Just wipe it off with a MF towel?
