New lease on life for this So Cal 07 C6...2007 C6 transformed from "Beast 2 Beauty"
Here is a recent project, a 2007 C6 Blk/Blk that I transformed from "Beast 2 Beauty"......She was in a world of neglect, from a failed invisible bra to extensive fine hairline scratches and contaminants bonded on the surfaces. There was wax built up in every crack, seal and the vehicle was caked in bugs as well.
Before photos showing the condition of this Vette
Up close showing failed PPF
Overall paint condition shown in photo
Then the tedious task of removing the entire failed invisible bra that had been on the vehicle for 4.5 years.....but underneath the film unvailed some very mint condition paint as seen in this lifted corner.
So we started with the easiest first, the lenses...
Side view mirrors get some light heating to assist in the removal of the PPF
Some of the areas the film came up nice and easy....
Other areas the film left the adhesive residue in heavy blotches
Then the process of removing all the left over adhesive residue.
Then for a very thorough clean, wash and inspection
Time for some wheel attention using some Adams Metal Polish
My wife tended to the interior
Before engine bay shot
After engine bay shot
Some final shots after the PPF removal and paint correction detail
I must say that after this was job was completed, the owner had a vehicle that was like new and not one rock chip on any of the areas that previously had PPF...and the rest of the vehicle polished out flawlessly to match!
Thank for viewing...
