Re: EVIL Black ZL1- Repaint - Orange Peel, Sanding Marks, Hologram Removal & CQ Fines

I can't say enough about the work you guys did; just phenomenal!

I do have one question, though. Why, in God's green Earth, would someone buy a black car in or near Phoenix??? That 120 stuff happens often enough that it has to affect the various parts of the car. And how hot does black paint get after a few minutes in that sun??

Thank you so much

You know someone asked me a bit ago "I see you guys do all these black cars, do you ever do white ones...Az sells more white cars for its population than most any other state." But we've probably only done a hand full of white cars!

I saw a video on AG and Mike was showing a black Vette in the sun in FLORIDA in the morning and his surface temp gun showed it at 170 degrees....so in Az i wouldn't be surprised if it topped 200 degrees in the sun...i really should get a temp gun just to find out..

Just some quick comments:
Nicely done, enjoy photos and write-up.
Wish I had an partner like Dani to handle the fine details of details.
The saying goes, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." I haven't been in the kitchen for days and I feel for you brave souls working in the heat wave.
Again, enjoy seeing your work and the excellent results.

Very glad you enjoyed the write up, thank you.

Dani handles EVERYTHING, there seriously isn't one thing i can do that she can't...or vice versa. We may be BETTER than each other with certain things (She's had times where she just can't quite get the cut she wants...and ive had plenty of times where dialing in a final polish on soft paint was being a pain for me...but she got it locked in)...but at the end of the day we compliment eachother pretty well

Agreed about the heat! We hit 120 this past weekend...we sat that one out and waited till it was a nice 111 on Monday to go tackle another ZL1 lol
Thanks again.

Wills and Dani - what an amazing team you two are! That poor car......but at least it was lucky enough to encounter you two and be taken back to better than new. Just an outstanding job over all, and an incredible write up documenting your processes - including your thought process on the plan of attack. Did the dealer pay for this, or did they leave that to the customer? We certainly hope you charged accordingly for the time, effort and most of all the skill that went into this. Goodness knows you and Dani are more than worth whatever you charged!

Michael thanks a ton. Ive also gotta say thanks for making those Unigrit discs as well...i love those things! Looking forward to being able to use them even more in the future.

The dealership actually is going to foot the bill on this one. The head rep basically just told us to do everything we could to make it right...so we did. As for charging, some jobs its like...payment is the icing on the cake...in the end we were just glad to see we were actually able to save this baby...the owner left us a very nice review on our facebook page...but we are looking forward to getting that check in the mail sometime soon .

Wow... What a night and day difference! Hopefully the owner will take care of the car's paint. The owner should have a deeper appreciation of the shine and beauty (and maybe the difficulties) of maintaining paint, especially black paint.. Nice!

Thank you Yes he seems like the kinda guy who will take care of it from here on out. Its always good to know its being left with an owner who will care about it

Stunning! A great turnaround.

Thank you

That was simply amazing! You guys are all-stars. Great write-up on it too. Very good read. Thanks for sharing with us.

Lol, don't know about all that but we do put our all into every job...this one just happened to need a LOT of love. Glad you enjoyed the write up and it's always a pleasure to share with you guys!

I love your write-ups! Excellent work! Stunning finish.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! As always, i'll try to keep them coming. We have 3 more black cars coming up this week...gonna be a LOOONG week!

Wills, just jaw dropping, hats of to you and your sister!

Thanks man, glad you got to swing in and check out the write up!

Wills & Dani - you do an incredible job! Can't accuse Dani for having OCD - I think ALL detailers have a bit of OCD in them Again - FANTASTIC JOB!

Lol, true i think we do. I just couldn't help but laugh when i saw her cleaning the damn rims!

You are a brave man (and woman!). I have done some pretty insane turn-arounds before, but this was incredible. Not sure I could have stomached that much work on a car like that in the heat. Hats off to you!

It was rough for sure...this past weekend Dani and I were heading out to go do a bid...the temp gauge in her car read 118...then 120...i was like wow...that's nuts ...even for us thats nuts! Thanks for the compliments though..glad you guys enjoy the write ups and turn arounds as much as we do
