C6 Corvette paint correction
I had my friend drop off his C6 Corvette the other day for a much needed paint correction. The sad part about this whole deal is that he just had the hood and and new Z06 front bumper put on and painted. The actual paint work is nice but the shops finishing work IE wetsanding and buffing is absolutly horrible. I was shocked to see all of the DA marks from sanding still left in the clear coat. Not too mention how much they charged him and now he has to pay me good money to fix it. He already brought it back once and they still didnt get it right. I will be updating this thread as it gets completed. Anyway on to the before pics.
The Car: 07 C6 auto with Z06 bumper, quarters, wheels, bolt-ons  Front bumper. Notice all of the sanding marks left in it.  More DA marks      Here is a couple after shots with just compounding and a light polishing. No where near completed but you get the idea. Night and day so far.

I can't believe a reputable shop would let the car leave looking like that
 Looking good so far!! I'm sure the owner will be happy

Yeah definitely do some nice work. You make it sound simple from the description of the process but I'm sure it takes some expertise and skill.
