Default 2007 Corvette vert detail - full correction
This customer came from nearly 2hrs away to drop her car off to me for a thorough correction. She has a lot of pride of ownership of this car and maintains it quite well. Another detailer had failed to remove the swirls as promised, so I got the call to make it right

After a solid 2 days on her car, it came out about 98% perfect.



Process:

Exterior
-Foamed with Dawn
-Rinsed and Dawn wash
-Megs APC 4:1 on wheels/tires
-Daytona EZ detail brush
-Swissvax Wheel brush
-Clayed with Z18 and Megs LT as lube
-Engine with Megs APC 3:1 and various brushes
-Tires and black trim with Zaino Z16



Interior

-Vacuumed
-Leather with Megs APC 10:1
-Zaino Z10 conditioner
-Stoner's Invisible Glass on windows
-vents and console cleaned with various brushes/qtips
-forgot pics *whoops*



Correction

-Megs 105 on orange LC 5.5
-Megs 205 on white LC 5.5
-using KBM method


LSP

-Zaino ZAIO
-Zaino Z5pro
-Zaino Z6








Before pics:
















The sky had a slight haze and hid some of the direct light, covering some swirls, but they were worse than pictured.

















Bath time!











Onto the swirls and correction...



test spot


















Right side corrected, left side not corrected yet









Both sides finished






Finished pics

Hi Jeff - wanted to register here, so that I could publicly thank you for the awesome job that you did with our car. It was most definitely worth driving the two hours it took to get to your place. I know you said that the car was 98% corrected, but damn if I can find the 2% that you said wasn't. The job looks 100% perfect to me.

Very nice work... and refreshing to see the owner take the time to show her appreciation.
Have you ever used, or have an impression of the Z8 grand finale... I see you used Z6
