ts|s Detailing: 95 z28 restoration

[third_shift|studios]

I invite you to have a look at this FB page. This is a 95 Z28 that was in need of restoration b/c the clear coat was just hammered. The vehicle required a full body wet sanding, touch up + multiple steps of polishing to restore the luster. Wetsanding will not only remove the deep surface imperfections but also will eliminate GM's notorious "orange peel" effect in the clearcoat, providing a much sharper reflection.







This photo shows the difference between factory clearcoat and wet-sanded clearcoat. The wetsanded section reflects about 5x sharper and much deeper.

$1000-$1500.

Just a heads up, b/c I know someone will say it. You CAN NOT get an orange peel-free paint job for that cost.

Just post it here like everyone else does, instead of sending people on a wild goose chase (no-pun intended ) trying to figure out what you did.


So, how do you like the Blackfire Midnight Carnauba Paste Wax?
I may order some next time.
Keep up the good work!

$1000-$1500.

Just a heads up, b/c I know someone will say it. You CAN NOT get an orange peel-free paint job for that cost.

I will agree with you there I charge between $2000 and $3000 for a full paint job with wet sand and mirror buffed finish. That's for same color and no body damage.

You'd be lucky to get any paint job for that little money.

Awesome work as always man.
