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.

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! Dom
Dom..very nice job on hte Vette! What an interesting colour, too. (I wouldn't own it but it certainly is distinctive). Your photography skills are good too, bud. What was your opinion of those wheels? To me, they are too dark and don't add anything to the car. It was smart to get rid of that crap on the lights too...damn I sound like an old fuddy-duddy, LOL. I was also interested to see you use ARO on the roof. I always have and have tried to turn people onto that product; I think it does a great job on canvass roofs. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice job as usual Dom! I agree with richy on the wheels though. Still using your Bimmer as a work truck,eh?
great detail, 360 forged wheels are truly phenominal! god bless you for taking off those horrible flames from his tailights too haha.
Oooh very cool rims :druling: :druling: The Vett looks very good, man it's hard to ignore these vehicles..I mean bang for the buck ($$) you get so much vehicle compared to exotics...not to mention on the track Vett's are a beast.
