Default Paint Correction on Cobalt Blue

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of doing a 3 stage paint correction with a rotory polisher. I have some decent experience doing this type of paint correction so wanted to share my results and offer any advice for those who want to pursue this type of paint perfection. Please feel to message me if you have any questions. First couple of pictures are of the car after sitting broken in the garage for 15 years.

Update: Finally completed. It's not 100% perfect but I drive this car a couple of days out of the week so 100% perfect wasn't realistic.

Definitely don't blame you for outsourcing it. It is a lengthy process and I had to break it over a few weeks which mean I couldn't drive the car until it was fully completed.

It is amazing how colors like cobalt and Amazon can look so dead and lifeless when dirty and pop so much when properly cleaned. great job looks fantastic.

My previous 964 was a higher mileage driver that had all kinds of stone chips, kid "accidents", etc...when I replaced it (due to an accident that totaled it) with current low mileage cobalt cab, I ended up PPF the entire car as well as ceramic coated over it. Happy with the results as it seems to stay cleaner longer as well as seems to relieve any driving anxiety I may feel taking it out...probably all in my head!
