1988 35th Anniversary edition Vette Z01 package. Limited production car (2,050 made) This car was made only in white as a tribute to the 1953 Corvettes which were only produced in with white exteriors. This car is not regularly driven and has sat for a quite while. Issues included a lackluster paint finish, water etch marks, slight oxidation and some yellowed plastic body panels (front/rear bumper). Goal was to correct the paint best as possible where allowed.... Starting point... Paint: Roof: Correction was carried out with the following: M105 w/ Wool pad via rotary D300 w/ MF cutting disc Menzerna P203s Menzerna PO85rd Correction shots: Just a warning if your not into "50/50" shots than you can just hit return on your browser now, this thread isnt for you. Hood after a test spot... Hood: left side corrected right side uncorrected Closeup... Before: After compoudning and polishing stages: Roof before under natural garage lighting... After under same lighting, all haze and swirls removed... Over 600+ Lumens worth of LED light... and then under halogens... Front and read bumper corrected up fine but some of the yellowing remained... Tires had old dressing caked in and flashed off, after some further cleaning a fresh rubber surface was left for new dressing to be applied: Interior treated Finished photos... In total about 34hrs. invested Thanks for reading! All the best, Dave
That's the whitest white interior I have ever seen, I bet that's what people mean when they say "I've seen the light"
I am really surprised the bumpers yellowed so much. The 50/50's are unreal! and telling us how long the job took puts thing into perspective.
Excellent work as usual Dave. That white interior would blind me on a regular day, loved the 50/50 on the tire. Class.
