Question

In a small world kind of scenario, this exact car was over with our good friends at Purifoy Chevrolet a few months back getting a little mechanical love. The car is rough cosmetically, but appeared to run strong. 

Fastforward to this week and a local car broker says he has a Callaway in his inventory hes going to try and move... of course we wanted to see it. When I realized what car it was I knew I was going to have to detail it. This car has been barn stored for some time and has deep deep DEEP swirls and scratches from a long time of neglect. 

 

For those that don't know, heres a little info on the Callaway SuperNatural 400:

In 1992, base Corvettes now used the LT1 engine. With major changes between that engine and the earlier L98, Callaway shifted from positive manifold pressure to increased displacement with the new SuperNatural series. Introduced with 400 hp, power climbed to 425, then 435, and finally 450 hp for the LT1 and LT4 cars. During this same period, Callaway also built SuperNatural Corvettes based upon the ZR-1 Corvette and the LT5 engine. Introduced with 475 hp, power was also available with 490 hp with optional header cats. A full menu of options (brakes, suspension, exhaust, body, wheels/tires) were available. Originally, the SuperNatural Series was called the CL-1 and CR-1 CL, for the LT1 powered cars. CR, for the LT5 powered cars. This moniker was very short lived, changing to SuperNatural soon after introduction.

 

With such a great opportunity to show off what our polishes can do I wasted no time setting up the camera and getting to work on what might be some of the most trashed paint I've ever detailed. 

 

Enjoy!

Great video DvK! Not only does this show how well the new 2 step system works on hammered paint, but it also gives a lot of the people out there a good feel of how the passes should be. Awesome all around. Can't wait for more.

 

........and it wouldn't be an Adam's video without those plaid shorts!  :jester:

Great results though. ..very inpressive in that light!

 

My beard is made of steel wool and rusty wire brushes.... not at all soft. ;)

The results are already amazing.

 

A technique question, if I may?  I've been reading through threads like crazy.  Most folks are recommending moving across the panels at about 1/2 to 1/4 of the speed you are using in this video (about 1" per second is what I seem to see most often).  Is it because overall you make more passes with the machine before moving on to the next panel?

This is amazing! Saw it in person today and was blown away at how bad it started and how amazing it finished. It truly went from almost undesirable to something I'd purchase. Great work.

Unreal! I almost cannot wait to deplete my current supply so I can get the new polishing system!

 

Callaway Corvettes are something special to me. I remember reading about them as a kid. I have seen one or two in person as an adult and it is almost like seeing a comic book character or something come to life.
