10-hour detail job. Green Corvette

...and not done yet!
Car: C4 Corvette Metallic Green
Car has been sitting around the shop for two years, while the owner gathered funds for a new 383 stroker
Got the car yesterday, and finished today. Well almost done. By looking at the pictures, you can see it was dusty and needed some serious detail
The process:
Exterior:
Washed the car with Duragloss Car Wash Shampoo
Claybarred twice with Clay Magic
Wiped down with IPA/Water 50/50 mix
Polished paint with Menzerna PO85RD3.02 with LC Orange Pad and a PC Buffer
Did another IPA/50/50 wipe down
Followed with ClearKote Red Moose Machine Glaze with Sonus Blue pad
Final coat with Rejex Paint Sealant with LC black pad
Windows cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass Cleaner
Exterior black trim and rubber treated with Wizards Black Renew
Interior:
Leather seats got a 2-step Lexol treatment; cleaner and conditioner
Dashboard done with JW Satin Prot and Wizard
Wheels were cleaned with JW Prime, and topped with Rejex paint sealant
Tires got scrubbed with Duragloss Car Wash Shampoo, and topped with DuPont Tire Shine (owner wanted them shiny)
Still left to do...engine bay, wheel wells, and exhaust tips :eeek:
Here's some before and after pics...enjoy:
BEFORE:




AFTER: Money shots and for the win!

Yeah, the car had a lot of swirls, and a lot of scuff marks. Yes, it now has a 383 stroker motor in it
