57 Chevy Bel Air tag team correction One of the earlier jobs Bob and I worked together on....a 57 chevy for a client of his....
Bob and I went mobile to tackle this hot rod 57 Chevy Bel Air. Originally scheduled for a ~70% correction, with some work and testing multiple combinations we were able to yield about 90% correction on this classic. While not a full correction, it was a huge transformation and far beyond what the owner was expecting.
Onto the pics!
After its wash, we brought it inside to start claying.
Here I am claying
Pics of wash induced marring and heavy swirls and RIDS
Some super crazy RIDS. Kinda looks like fish bones to me....
Myself working the GG 6" DA with the Megs cutting MF pad
50/50 on the driver's fender
Driver's door and quarter needed some help
Door looking much better and the quarter followed soon after
Trunk was pretty rough too
50/50 shot
Wheels polished to a much better shine. They really needed a full dismount and machine polishing, but that wasn't in the cards for this detail.
Finished pics
My favorite shot!
Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoyed!

Here is a quote from Bob's part of the writeup.

Car looks nice and I hope the photo shoot went well that it was cleaned up for.

I know nothing about detailing, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
Why do you tape off sections? Is it part of the process or just for pictures to show progress? Some other reason?
Great job!

Great job by the way you do incredible work! I'd like to have that 57 sitting in my garage.
