Default Did some buffing

Hi everyone

I don't usually post but figured I would share a picture of the work I did today. I bought my car used so it had some scratches and of course swirl marks. I didn't do it all in one day with my 12 hour 5 to 6 day work weeks so I did one pass 2 weeks ago and another 2 passes today and a 3rd pass with some finishing glaze. I have not put any waxes or sealant's on yet, I did all this to put a ceramic coating on hopefully next weekend

I remembered years ago, I'd spend many hours in the spring getting my black C6 swirl less. going through all the Zaino steps was fun and therapeutic, especially with a couple cold ones. Now, those times are consumed with getting the kids to their practices and volunteering. Great job with the rotary. You may just inspire me to go down to my basement and haul up my polishing hardwares!

Your work schedule sounds like mine.

Prepping, polishing, and waxing does take time. But it is well worth it when the job is complete.

Post you final results

Nice job, I also have LB and it does shine up very good, well worth the extra $1K.

That looks Fantastic - Mine came with swirls also but I wasn't confident to correct it.These things should leave the factory like that!

Thanks again everyone, I just got done removing the film that's in front of the rear tires. That took quite a bit of elbow grease lol. Wiped it down with paint prep and put the cover back on until next weekend, I will probably hit it again with the paint prep to make sure all oils and everything is off that might have got transferred from the car cover or my hands while putting it on.

Looking good!
Have you decided which ceramic coating you're going to use and what help you select the one you're going to using? just wondering, I know that there's several brands out there.

Gotta love the labor of love we give our vettes
