Default Paint correction pics added

So on the way to get my 03 Z06 paint corrected and ceramic coated I got caught in my first down pour while driving. At least it happen at the best time it could. The legend Mike Phillips formally with Autogeek himself took care of my car. Full paint correction and ceramic coated. He has his own shop now 3D International LLC and does classes teach the detailer type. My car had never looked better.

The funny part is it was a big deal to me because I have literally never driven my cars in the rain. I actually detail the underside because one of them is always on a lift. Maybe caught 1 or 2 times in many years. I went out knowing the weather was bad so I felt like it was a big deal.

I did and continue to do "paint correction" myself my own dime and time... That's the big deal?

It's a good thing it went straight to paint correction, otherwise it might have melted.

The car looks great though. Congrats!
