Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine Lol your guys' concern is appreciated. I hear you..just honestly no damn room. Salty sweat drips just keep the polish wet lol (kidding) But trust me, we drink like freakin' fish...our biggest hang up is...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine On an 07' Id completely agree..much harder paint back then. We actually did a 2012 ZL1 a week or so after this ZL1...and even that 1 year of difference, there was a HUGE difference in clear hardness...as you...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine If a surface actually needed repainted...the whole area needing repaint would be sanded down anyway (id assume) and if a blend were to be made onto the coating i dont see that it would be an issues...the...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine Yeah the peel coulda been taken care of for sure...that front bumper was well uhm...impressive lol. We had to sand a fair amount off but there was still plenty left from what our paint thickness gauge was...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine Very welcome, thank you for reading :) I was tired after writing it! We were a bit surprised, but relieved that we were able to pull it off...definitely a confidence builder when you're finished but it does...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine Dani made me hold still: I LOVE this shot: Ready and waiting for pick up. In short...the owner...was very pleased and somewhat surprised with the turn around lol. This car had turned...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine Wheels, while they did look filthy like this: Cleaned up to this (and will be even better once they are polished) And as for that horrible orange peel: All gone: And those insane...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine Touching up my half of the roof too: Gotta realize, polishing the defects is only part of the battle....SEEING them..especially super faint micro-marring...is the other part. Carefully wiping down with...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine We worked and worked and worked through the day. Where normally we'd be making faster pace..things like deep sanding marks in tight groves or on sharp body lines took us extra time. Rather slow and successful...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine She had been using Final Inspection to clean most of it up...and it worked great. But of course when I tried it..it left some **** behind...guess i got the extra hard stuff that dripped all the way to the...

Re: EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Fine What to do in a situation like this? Well, you call the man himself, Mr Buff Daddy Buff Daddy - Kevin Brown. I spoke with kev a few times (once we finally quit playing phone tag!) He told me he'd send me all...

EVIL Black ZL1 Re-paint - Orange peel/Sand Marks/Holograms removed & CQuartz Finest THE NAME....people....said it ALL... About 3 weeks ago while working on ANOTHER black 2013 ZL1 - I checked my phone and saw i had 2 calls from the same #. I though dang, someone wants to talk to me. Then I...

Yup you had that one wrong. And don't worry we're not letting the owner get anywhere near ANY car wash, brushes or hand wash ...unless its our hand wash.

You can use dawn on it yes. Now if it were just a regular wax or sealant...dawn would either strip, or weaken the wax...but with Opti-Coat...dawn is totally safe to use. We actually usually WILL use dawn for the first follow up wash just to be sure the coating did really bond correctly to the...

My sister actually :). As i said above, this particular job was a barter for her braces but for other jobs we do such as this...yes it is profitable if you know what you're doing (which MANY "detailers" do not, we've come behind quite a few to fix their screw-ups) The initial start up was very...

TarX is nice stuff...definitely keep the bottle in a cool area though or it might pop on you lol. Tarminator is also a very good product IMO. Opti-coat is tricky. The 2.0 version is a bit more friendly but paint prep is KEY. Making sure the paint is in the best shape possible and then cleaning...

Well, you are too far for me to help you out but, I do have a buddy closer to your area who does very good work. I think he's in WEST Virginia but id have to double check. For bugs i really love Optimum Power Clean. Its paint safe, can be diluted down and used on other surfaces (tires, rims...

So we began coating....and the sun went away, and we were still coating. All we had was a street light outside and our own lights to be able to try to check to be sure everything was being coated properly and there was not streaking and high-spots. Needless to say this took even more time than...
