| | | A Black Garage Queen
This is a 2003 Corvette Zo6 with 11'600 miles on her.
When you see the first few before pics, you will see why I was contacted.
This was a full long, full sun two day detail. I started it on friday morning, and had to stop at 2:30 to go to another clients. This corvette was last minute schedule. So I headed back on sunday to finish the other half. The vette had a layer of dust on it.
The Wash
Two gallon water and DP 4 in 1 with a mf towel. Dried with cobra guzzler.
Tire received surf city beyond black, one coat applied.
The Interior
Leather seats were cleaned with Z-9 leather cleaner. Then conditioned with Z-10.
Carpets were vacuumed then cleaned. Dash/console/door panels were wiped down with DP Interior Surface Protectant.
The Gameplan
I started with the new cobra cross grove org cutting pad, and Menz SIP. The DeWalt speed set between 1400-1600. (you don't need a wool pad on a corvette like they say on other forums) 
After that fun was done, I pulled out the pc with a low profile org pad, with optimum polish. After that was done to the whole car, I went back over it again with a new to me green ccs 5.5 pad with optimum polish.
The Final Bling
I went with Four Star UPP. I used the pc and a gray ccs pad to apply it to the finish. Let it sit for 15min then removed it with a cobra deluxe jr.
The befores   
The Afters

Nice! Does it look like those wheels are too small for that car? I guess I'm used to looking at the newer vettes. |
