C6 Corvette correction - repairing someone else's detail job

This corvette owner sought me out to see if anything could be done to make his car look better. He had had another well known detailer in the bay area work on the car and it "just didn't look right". After about 30 sec it was obvious the previous detailer didn't know how to correctly work the hard corvette clear coat. Heavy DA haze and micro marring were present all over the car along with a few strike-throughs (when people say you can't burn with a DA....that's not exactly true). After 2 days of re-compounding and two more rounds of polishing, this C6 was back to looking sharp again!

After compounding






More defects. Also 1/8" 3M Fine Line tape used to protect edge that had be compromised by other detailer, keeping the burn mark from getting larger during correction work.

All finished and sealed with Blackfire Wet Diamond





























Thanks for looking!

Nice job for sure. I understand we all start some place but really, how can you burn the clear with a DA? That's almost something you have to try to accomplish lol. The paint looked like he had a steel wool pad connected to his DA and went for it, head first. Nice save though
