ScheerSpeed Detailed: 360FORGED Corvette C6

Red Corvette C6

I was called to come out and inspect this car one day because it had been in a shop and had gotten some overspray that needed removal. Upon inspecting the car, i found there were some light swirls, along with RIDS in a few isolated spots. I decided that a two-stage polishing job would get the car to 99% perfection, and the owner agreed, so i got to work.

Before:

you can see that the car has some settled dust, and the lower portions including the wheels needed some serious cleaning.

Here's what the car looked like after being all cleaned up and after clay bar decontamination.

you can see te light swirls and scratches

The brinkmann dual xenon light shows the true finish, just like the sunlight, however the metallic red color makes it difficult to photograph.

Before/after of the tail lights. the owner requested that i remove the black fire covers

A few shots of the perfected finish after polishing

And the finished product!

The finished engine bay

Thanks for looking!

Is that a giant blower?

Yes the vehicle is obviously supercharged

Wow what a monster. Thankfully he had you remove those Pep Boys fire decals on the taillights.

Whats the technique on the engine bay? There are a lot of nooks and crannies that seem impossible to clean that are just spotless shiny black.
