Default Re: Photoshoot with a Crystal Red ZR1 cousin

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.

I think of paint correction as getting the clearcoat as free from imperfections (swirlmarks, scratches, watermarks, etc.) as possible. Yes, buffing - with the right mix of tools, polishes/compounds, and pads - is how to do it.

Sometimes we wet sand really troublesome spots, but that's only if nothing else works. The important part is remembering that there's only so much clearcoat to work with; when it's gone, it's gone. We try the gentlest polishes first and step up the aggressiveness as necessary.

I would consider rock chip repair and actually adding new paint a different category.

My husband and I ended up having our first date at a local detailing supply shop, so we're both pretty passionate about this stuff
