Marylander Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Great work! Can you elaborate on what it took to get all those swirls out? -- I can never seem to get every last one out of my C5. Thanks! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Detailing Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 This one was really involved and keep in mind I use a rotary. I started out with SWH on a nanofoamedwool pad, then SWH on a orange pad, FMP on green LC pad, final was Menzerna PO85rd on LC blue pad for the jeweling, finished up with 2 coats of APW.

Thanks for the details. I'm not surprised that job took more than the typical Adam's process... my Vette seems to resist all my best efforts!

Rich Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I hope he didn't pay the guy for the first job! Even a first timer could do better than that. You did a great recovery on the Vette. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ1o87 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Wow. I can't believe your before pictures were someone else's after shots. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Are the 'swirls' in those before pics are what people consider buffer trails? Car looks great! Are you referring to Swirl and Haze Remover when you say SWH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron_Von_Awesome Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Are the 'swirls' in those before pics are what people consider buffer trails? No, those swirls are from washing with 400 grit sandpaper A buffer trail (or hologram) looks almost like the contrails a jet leaves in the sky.
