34 hours total into the correction


After a thorough wash I pulled off the center caps and cleaned the lug areas and backside of the centercaps



This was one of the few spots I had to level with 2000 grit then 3000 to get out some nasty RIDS



After compounding both wool and foam steps



50/50 shot left side corrected



Door corrected rear quarter marred to h**l!!



This is the sun shot before



And another



Last before shot



Six inch long crescent shaped DEEP scratch that requires wetsanding



Rear right quarter before correction



One of the worst parts on the car was the grill, covered in hard water spots I had to correct with vinegar(8 applications) cleaning and polish each tine square by hand(5 hours alone)



Had to put the CG glaze on with my finger as this was the only way to get the grill
cleared up as using the micro towel was not working(major suck factor)



Interior had coffee stains everywhere, the worst was in the rear where I got 95% correction with cleaners and steam



After



Finished Interior with smooth matte finish on leather







Broke out my Festool which I do not use as much as my Flex DA, I like the trigger on the Flex but the festool has major power to correct foe a DA machine

damn, that paint looks as soft as a kitten!! looks amazing!!

 

There is a whole write up before these pics, but I recieved a notice that it would have to be approved. Hopefully it makes the cut.

 

:applause: Simply Beautiful:chips:

 

Very nice work, Bob! I have a maintenance package with a customer on his 08 GTC, in the exact same color. It's going to need correcting in the early fall, as his wife will take it through the tunnel wash from time to time...she doesn't think I'll notice. Hahaha.

So, do you think the paint is pretty easy to work on? And I totally agree about the grill...TOTAL pain in the arse!

 

Excellent work Bob, great to see you over here!

 

Looks great Bob, that commitment to the grill was amazing. Did you do it for 5 hours straight or do it for like 3 hours then come back? There's no way I could do that straight through.

 

Great job ! I always love looking at your sun picks. The car just sparkles every time !

 

Yep............ that's perfect alright!!!

 

WOW! I'm spechless! Absolutely adore it!!!

 

Great work, per usual, Bob!

 

Fantastic work

 

Agreed, perfect sun bursts, hologram and RID free! Great work Bob!

 

Excellent work Bob!! Paint looks smooooooth. Absolutely beautiful.

 

BLING BLING and BADA BING!

Top notch work as usual!

 

Incredible vehicle, love the colour...can't say I've ever seen that colour in person :druling:

 

5 hours total, but at least three consecutive as my fingers started cramping. I should have removed the grill and soaked it in a vinegar solution for about a week!!.

 

Do we even need to say anything? :worship2:

 

It's actually called Sapphire Blue, which is not what I was expecting when my customer told me about his GTC.

Great color, no doubt.
