My cousin, Tim Grover , stopped out to the shop Friday, and we paint corrected & ceramic coated a beautiful 2002 Corvette he recently purchased. Tim had the car well-prepped, so we could dive right into wiping the car down and machine compounding when he arrived.
Although well cared for, the paint on this car is still 24 years old and had marks, swirls, and haze. Black GM paint almost always requires 3-stage correction (compounding, polishing, jeweling) to get the paint looking its best again. Although a very time consuming process, I'm thrilled with the results.
By about 5:00 Saturday, we wrapped up installing 2 coats of CarPro's D-Quartz Go ceramic coating, with incredibly impressive results. This C5's paint should be well protected for years to come!
We both worked really hard to complete the car in a finite timeframe, but the effort was definitely worth it. I'll leave some before and after photos below.
Have a great week, gang!
