i had the oppurtunity to detail a vette this week, so he brought it over sunday. it seems like the mroe i do this, the worse the cars get. well, this one was by far the worst i have done, and you will agree when you see the pics. apparently whoever painted this car took scotch brite or soemthin to it when they tried to wetsand it, idk its all i can make it out to be. it wasnt sanding marks really....just looked like it had been washed with scotch brite, literally. possibly sanded with circular motions and half-way buffer. the paint was only 3 months old and looks TERRIBLE.

this one took about 11 hours, heres the process...

-degrease with dawn
-wouldve clayed the car, but the paint is new and didnt feel like it needed it
-Meguiars 105 compound and edge wool pad (took about 3 hours to compound, it was a mess)
-pad was edge double sided that comes with the system one kit
-Meguiars 205 finishing polish on edge finishing pad
-Meguiars #26 yellow wax X 2
-polished tips with ooo steel wool and mothers mag polish
-regular interior cleaning, as well as wheel wells, inner wheels, all that.
-tires dressed with Prime Shine Extra

me either. the owner said he picked the car up from the paint shop that way. i really think they tried to wetsand it incorrectly (circular motions instead of striaght) and then they half-way compounded it. who knows
