| | | Surf City Corvette
What was used on this corvette
Surf City's- Road Trip Grime Destroyer
Surf City's Beyond Black Tire Pro
Surf City's Hi-Def Nano Seal Protective Coat
I first sprayed the Road Trip on the rims, lower fender area, and on the front bumper. Let sit about 30 seconds or so. Then hit it with the pressure washer, came right off. There was a bird bomb on the hood since friday. Also sprayed it with the Road Trip and it started to ooze it off. Before I hit it with the p.washer.
The vette was washed with the Shmitt and DP Xtreme Foam. Wasted alot of foamy soap, since it took all of less then 2 min. to wash it. Supreme Guzzler dried it right up
I then clayed the whole car using clay magic blue bar. No machine polishing was done at this time.
Then started with the Nano Seal- like directions state I used a circular motion with a MF app. I think it has some cleaners in it, since the app was getting dirty. Applyed it to the whole car, and let it sit for 30min before removal. Bottel said 20min.
Beyond Black Tire Pro was applyed. It gives a nice black look to the tires and has a very nice smell to it. I used a sweeping spray motion,then wiped excess off.
To me the nano seal gave the paint a more deep wet shine to it. And it seemed to get deeper as the time went by before I left.
The grime
The Dirty MF App.
The Blinging Paint
Grime Gone

| | | what did you think of working with the nano seal?... i just used it on the hood and front fenders on my car after it was fully clayed and polished and it seemed kind of tough to remove? does look pretty nice but id like a second opinion on that part, i need to try it out a bit more though... it looks great on the vette. |
