Correction and Coating on a 2009 Corvette
 
Client wanted to get this Corvette protected as it sits outside 24/7 all year round and he's about 3 hours north of me which means it see's some pretty crappy weather in the winter. After discussing his needs, we decided on a single stage correction and OCPro. Keith wanted good correction but was more concerned with the quality of protection afforded by Opti Coat. The first pass was done with Rupes 21 / Megs MF cutting disc and Megs M100. That was followed up with Rupes yellow foam and Opti Coat Primer. Protected with Opti Coat Pro and final wipedown with Opti Seal.

50/50 after first pass with M100. It left the paint around 90% correct.

Old wax build up removed with Pre Wow.

Great work as always Ken!

Great job Ken! Totally jealous of the hoist. Doing lowered cars, especially can really take a toll.

Ken, my car really needs to see you soon! I might have to take you up on the rental package

Is your Bendpak a low rise or mid lift?
I'm thinking about picking one up for the garage at home.

Great work!

As you should! LOL Let me know. Right now we are booking about 7-8 days away but I'm trying to find an employee so you guys aren't waiting so long.

Its a mid rise. Goes up about 48". Its portable as well so can be moved around. Cost was $2500 delivered.

I have the same hoist, if anyone wants it I might sell it. It is great but i am moving. shoot me an offer, you would need to pick it up with your budget rent a truck or trailer. thanks

Really interested in getting one of these hoists for at home. Would make servicing so much easier to get the car off the ground.
