  • 2008 Corvette C6 track vehicle/tire shredder recieves a face lift.

    Here is a recent job I completed last Friday on a Corvette owners rare and very custom Victory Red 08 C6 Corvette. This vette is track driven with a bored and stroked over LT3, that rumbled like no other.....The owner had tried himself to correct the extensive "RDS's" random deep scratches and excessive fine hairline swirls in the paintwork, but was not able to with a D/A only. He explained to me his method of washing, which has definately induced scratches. There were also signs that there was dirt or debris on the vehicle or pad when the owner polished which left hard circular (pigtail)scratches as well.

    I must say that this cars paint came to life when were were finished, the owner commented that it looked better than the day he purchased it!

    Here are some of the pics I took, as you can see from the first one, I pressure washed a whole lot of shredded rubber from the wheel wells..

    Here is what I blasted out of the rear wheel wells, the last set of tires

    Beggining stages of prep includes removing the license plate, never removed before

    First round of paint correction with the rotary

    Final results, the color completely changed...













    Here is a flip video I put together with the help of my son while performing this paint correction.

      Came out great! Nice ride too!
      There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

        The paint really pops. Fantastic work. You can see why the owner said it looks better then when he bought it.
        quality creates its own demand
