That looks really good, fantastic " wet " look. Two questions;
1) Can you describe what was involved in the paint correction process for example did the tech have to wet sand the clear coat etc or was it more a polish process ?
2) The process seems to really pop on the darker colors. My car is AW so on that lighter color would you expect to see that degree of "pop" and wet look shine........tks
Can someone put some insight on this question I'm curious myself. As to the question I made as well. i want to know if this process take any of the clear coat off?
Now that is one sharp Torch Red Corvette! Well done. What does something like this cost?
Full paint correction, polish, interior detail and ceramic coating was $650.

That's why you do a paint correction first and then apply the ceramic sealant!

Thank Hopper! My goal for this C7 was very aggressive, but incredibly classy. I hope I've hit that. And yes....TONS of Carbon Fiber, both inside and outside!

No, wet sanding involved many, many hours of work. Talk to Jagamajajaran (Jeremy) about this because his Grand Sport named Tribute was completely wet sanded and de-orange peeled. But that process also costs lots and lots of dollars! Honestly, if there IS any orange peel on my C7, it's difficult to find!
You get lost in the depth and strength of the color and shine of the paint.
I had the same done to my car done about 2 months after I got it in May 2015. They used Gtechnig two step to seal it. I did Xpel at the same time. It took care of most of the orange peel and the car still looks better than new now with 30k on the clock.
Last weekend, my friend, Manny Shaffie from KC Pro Polish, took my car and did a full detail job. This included a full paint correction, polish and ceramic coating.
The results are amazing.......

It would be cheaper for me to Round Trip Flights plus Hotel for your guy.Than what the Boston Area Charges.
Ohh,I forgot your finders fee...
I'm sure it's a Knock-out in person
In my area, MD, a job like yours, Steve, would be 2-3X what you paid. Well done!
Not sure where in MD you're getting your quotes from, but the guys I use do it based on the size of the vehicle and the time it will take them to correct and seal.
My suburban was $900. It's black so right there more time is needed because it shows everything.
My Z06 was $500.
This includes full paint correction and the Kamikaze Miyabi Coating. If you're interested in speaking with my guy I will pm you his info.
On a side note, Steven I am dig'n that shift ****.
Looks awesome and doing the same to my new Grand Sport this week. Pro detailer spent 8 hours with full detail and paint prep. Xpel clear bra went on yesterday. Tomorrow he applies 2 coats of C Quartz UK so another full day for him. The cool part is he comes to my garage where its well lit and spends the day there. $1550.00 drive out for the full detail and the C Quartz.He is a perfectionist too and really takes his time.
