Default Low mileage red Z06 gets some correction

I did a 2 step correction about 3 years ago on this car. At the time it only had 2200 miles. The last couple years have been a little harder on it as its now a daily driver (a massively fun one). At 14,500 miles its obviously not a long commute, but it just doesn't get the care it did as the weekend toy.

With both my customer and myself having a very busy schedule, setting a date for it was a little bit of a challenge. When we finally did and I saw the condition, I knew it was due for another 2 step correction, but neither of us had more than 1 day to work on it. So a long 1 step correction was chosen. I spent extra time working the polish as long as possible to get as much correction as possible. At the end of the day about 80-85% correction was achieved leaving mostly just the deep scratches and very few remaining swirls. The customer was a little worried 1 step wouldn't do enough, but in 3 years I'd become much more efficient and brought it just about right back to where it was last time and he was quite pleased with the result.




Before







Wheels looking a bit dirty






Return of the swirls


























Exhaust tips all cleaned up






All finished and sealed with 2 coats of Zaino Z5pro


























Sun pics











Wheels looking ship-shape again





















Thanks for checking it out!

Looks great! I know you listed what you sealed it up with, but what products were used for the paint correction?

Menzerna is outstanding stuff. I have several grades in the garage and my car wouldn't look half as nice without it. It's all I use since I discovered it five years ago.

She looks great.

Good Job!
