I have to apologize to everyone as I have been VERY lazy recently and have not uploaded any pics or posted any of my detail jobs for a while. I am going to try and upload the last couple I did atleast if I can find the time. This one is near and dear to my heart since it is my new Callaway SC652. The car is an 09 and was in the showroom/on the lot for close to a year. I was told mostly showroom. All is all the car was no where near as bad as I expected. There were a few scratches on the bumper and it looks like there were some behind the rear window and one of the dealers tried to remove them with a wool pad and left U shaped buffer swirls in that area. Under flourescents it was Super Dull. On the bad area behind the rear window I used my Rotary at 1500 and some SIP. Worked great at removing the buffer swirls. It is hard to differentiate between before and after in photo's but here are some before or in progress shots of it taped up and ready to go. I used my Flex 3401 on speed 5 to 6 with a green LC CCS pad and Menzerna PO106FA on most of the car. Then I jeweled the paint with Menzerna PO85RD and a gold LC CCS pad. I also used Fuzion as the LSP. I was going to do my usual Zaino but it was too cold and dark to pull it out for the Dawn wash so I just through a coat of Fuzion on it for now. I also did the seats with Leatherique which worked wonders on removing the few wrinkles that were on the drivers seat from people sitting in it in the showroom. Dealer offered to replace seat but after the leatherique you can barely tell it was sat in, I swear by that stuff. :cheers: In progress Afters Here are a few of her outside. Enjoy the pics. I used 303 on some of the interior pieces and Z16 on the tires. Of course removed most of the plastic off the carpets etc. It is still on the Callaway sills but I will get around to removing that next time I wash it. I can't wait until spring so I can break it in and see what she's got in her. In the cool weather you cannot hook it up at all in the 1st 4 gears and that is keeping it under 3500rpm's.
Did you detail the Corvette in the same garage you later parked in front of? It looks like a normal garage from the front, but it's very roomy on the inside. Nice work!
Yes, same garage. It is 24' X 24'. Not too bad, you can never have a big enough garage IMHO. Plenty of room for detailing though. The KwikLift helps a lot also.
Nice, 24 feet by 24 is wicked. Mine is 18x22 and even though it fits the Explorer and my 3/4 Dodge comfortably, I wish it was just a little wider and perhaps another 2 feet deeper. Next house, right? :thumb:
Looking good ! I need to get one of those ramps, it would help so much with the lower parts of the car.
It does help a lot. You can also jack up the back and legs drop down making it level and great for oil changes and cleaning the undercarriage etc...
Amazing work Frank. The new car looks fantastic. Congrats on the new purchase. I can't wait to see it in person :thumb:
Great work enough said. I noticed Pa plates. Any chance at some free lessons for working for you on a Saturday sometime? 52 year old enthusiast that just likes a beautiful car, Nothing better than a stunning ride no matter what it is. I am in SE Pa and would love to master your technique ie pressure and movement. I use Menzerna and the results are not quite up to yours. Any chance let me know.
