Hey, just a thought, but you guys need to include a body panel or two with your kits so we can have something to practice on.

This has always been my favorite thread. From the paint to the seats, it shows how you can go from very bad to pretty darn good. Way to go Mike and Lynn.Comment

Being a black Corvette owner myself I couldn't agree with this statement more. Any thoughts on why something so hard should scratch so easily?Originally posted by Mike Phillips
Working on newer Corvettes like these must be done carefully. The paint is very hard, but at the same time easily scratched. I have instructed the owner on how to wash the car using only high quality mitts and car washes formulated for automotive paints.
BTW- Great job on the Corvette Interested in making a house call to the UK?

Barry coined the term, scratch-sensitive, or abrasion-sensitive, back in either the late 1980's or early 1990's and his choice of words quite accurately describes the characteristic of clear coat finishes.
Thank you, but I'm afraid to say that I've seen the car recently and it looks as though the finish has gone down hill... the owner, a friend of mine is not what you would call a detailing enthusiasts, he's more of a drive the car through a car wash enthusiasts... It takes a certain amount of skill, patience and passion to maintain a flawless black finish on any car.BTW- Great job on the Corvette
I'd like to do a clinic over there...Interested in making a house call to the UK?Comment

It never ceases to amaze me how poorly some people take care of their vehicles. Especially something like a Corvette and the Boxster S also featured on this site. I'm still working on the scratches in my car from where the previous owner took it through a car wash.
Judging from the discussion elsewhere on this forum it looks like it will be some time before we see a clinic here.
Who do I contact to suggest you come over? I've got just the car for you to demonstrate on

Re: 1999 Corvette - Remove Swirls and Scratches
Truly a work of art. I can see minor swirls in a couple of places in my cars (self made I might add) but I have an idea of what to do.
Great job on the Vette.
I hope I can make it to Irvine soon to learn from the masters.

Re: 1999 Corvette - Remove Swirls and Scratches
that looks phenomenal, I definatley need to work on my technique. I am a little worried about using a power buffing system. Do the scratches come back after a point?
