If you weren't so busy detailing you'd have installed that head/cam package by now, do I have to do everything for you?. Nice write up.

Thanks, KillR. Very good write up. Worthy of a sticky as far as I am concerned.

Thoughful, erudite, sage, and prescient. A neighbor across the street has a 2000 Corvette that is black and has mentioned to me that he would like it detailed sometime in January of 2007. I will use this as a guide to do the work on his Vette.

as an aside ...was this not closed at one point? I read the write up. Was going to comment but was not allowed because the thread was closed. What happened ? Did you change your mind?

Very nice write-up. Thank you for taking the time to do this and to have all of the pics to go along with it. I'm sure it will prove helpful to many of us. I know I'll be using it for reference.

Your Vette is HOT.

Wow...talk about write up. Thank you, that will defenetly come in handy for a person like my self reading and learning about what works and how to make it work. The finished product looks really good. I thought it looked good before, I didn't think it could get better but it did.

thanks guys .... yes the post was locked for a bit. Seems even a mod is limited to how much space we use per post. I wanted it to be in order, without having to move/delete anyones posts/questions.

as for dressing the wheelwells, it is a bit of a pain. While washing I use a thin toilet brush and scrub them with wheel cleaner. I then blow them dry with the leaf blower while working the wheels. Finally I use a cheap aerosol tire gloss that sprays well. I find AA Foam / Stoners More Shine / and one other to work perfectly (black purple can/ chrome wheel). I actually keep the nozzle from them when can is done, so I can use them on others.

also for wheel wells if you cant reach any other way, get in the seat and cut the wheel to one direction as far as possible, should give you the clearance on most cars
