anyone know of a detailer that does color or paint correction in the San Diego area.

 

Seymore I am not too far of a drive, come on down and I will handle it for you...










Sensitive areas are always taken into consideration on a delicate job like this and masked.



Refinished, color was right on but the texture was off, a bit too much fine peel or structure...



Structure and minor orange peel leveling on a repainted panel



Thoroughly scuffed properly with the utmost care, this area is now ready for the next step.



Proper restoration

Protection!

 

I talked to you a couple weeks ago you quoted me $600 or $700.00 I know your worth it but I can't afford that on my sheriff salary all I can afford is $500.00 if you can do that I will make another appointment if you can't I fully understand.thanks again.Seymore

 

Sorry we were not able to get together as soon as I can afford you I will be calling on you lol.see you soon

 

Save up and do it right the first time...Dave is worth the $.

 

I totally agree I will pay the piper because I love my car.

 

I have a great guy in Aliso Viejo but he also charges about 800 for a good 2 step and then the sealant to keep things protected for about 2 years is another 350 due to the fact that you have to be an authorized installer of the sealant and normal people cant just buy the stuff. It is ceramic based I guess and hardens like a **** plus has crazy hydrophobic properties. The car will not need to be waxed again for those 2 years normally and keeps scratches from forming easily when drying. Honestly you have to pay to play. He will be doing my car in a month or so. He did my BMW a couple of times over the last 4 years and always does amazing work. A proper job will take the better part of an entire day or possibly 2 days.

 

Would be nice if you give me his name

 

Thanks for the honest and good words MTPZ06, I appreciate this!

Thank you for the call earlier today Seymore, as I mentioned to you I would post some pics.....above are some fresh pics from a member of the C6 Forum, Richard who also reached out to me to handle the needs on his Monterey Red vert.....

Detailer that will ever touch my car unbelievable work. Thanks Dave.

That's my car in the pics and I can attest Dave did a fantastic job. Well worth the money and his advise to never use a California Duster is demonstrated by the before pics for those, like me, who don't know better. Thanks again Dave!

 

Thank you so much Richard for the kind words, I really do appreciate this! It was my pleasure to restore the finish on your C6, your trust in my services means the world to me!!....

Thank you Seymore for taking the time in your schedule to travel out to see me today, it was a pleasure to meet you and have the opportunity to dial up your C6

I truly appreciate your comments above, and so long as you stay away from the "Duster" she will stay looking mighty fine! What a transformation as you will see from the photos, this Monterey Red Metallic just totally came back to life.

A total of almost 9 man hours were provided just to restore then preserve this gorgeous color....

Before photos showing the damage that has been created over time on this very soft tinted clear coat. IMO and I have 30 yrs of doing and seeing this over and over.....The Duster is just moving around these abrasive particles which just score your finish!















Time for a thorough prep and paint decontamination



Every Vette that comes thru gets some engine bay TLC.....





Up and close, here was my initial test area, the "goal" to level out all the surface defects taking the "least" aggressive approach. Here is a 50/50 photo showing the extreme difference in the first step using the proper procedure!

Man that looks great.

 

You made the right decision my friend...glad to see it worked out to your liking.

If you let Dave work his magic on your car, you'd have to change your CF user name to newC5...

 

I am thinking about it. Old to New thats funny.

 

Dave's done my '03 C5Z and my '09 C6Z...always stellar results. You can't go wrong. Something you should treat yourself to at least once a year...your car will never look better.
