Recently completed job, a few month old C7 Stingray in for defect removal and coating with wheels off cleaning as well. Being new the finish in most areas was pretty good however there were defects and the wheels with the super soft gloss black finish were tore up(The owner informed me on the Corvette forums this is a sore subject and he might in the future take the wheels and have them re-sprayed to the dark grey metallic finish the accents on the car are). Even though he did not make it in any of the pics, Daniel from Car Connoisseur helped me on the latter part of this detail and others that week with his help much appreciated as I am swamped. Upon arrival, recently driven in the rain. Corvettes are transported by rail, and the rail dust/particulate needed to be removed. Wheels removed. The soft paint was a real issue, the inner barrels and spoke had not been marred to terribly but the face of the wheels.......................... Protection evident. Cleaned up the brackish water in the wells. Calipers coated. With the deep marring......... Combo of machine and hand correction needed. Getting better, many passes needed. Coming back to life. As mentioned, there were a few places where some compounding was needed rear hatch topside was one of them. Leveling the defects. Some deep RIDS on the drivers door. After correction. More defects. Making it all better. Underside of diffuser with hard water etch. Clarity restored. Coming together nicely. Engine bay with the water spot etch. General dustiness. With the cleaness. Dressing streaking. Clean satin tightness. MUCH improved interior Chevy. Punisher....................Bowtie style. Looking good. Sun pic time.
i feel the gloss black wheel pain. Im considering powder coating, but im not sure if that'll make much difference. Great job as usual!
