First wash of my new car (C8 Vette)!

[HAMBO]

After 13 months of waiting my 2020 Corvette arrived! Convertible, in shadow grey metallic paint.

Paint was in nice shape coming from the dealer. So far all I did was a maintenance rinseless wash with my go-to Uber rinseless, and topped with a quick layer of Bead Maker to have some protection, before I have time next week to do a proper cleaning, maybe a light polishing (few little things like water spots to polish off) and proper sealant or coating.

Definitely felt a bit weird washing a new car (have been driving my Camaro for 7+ years). Uber and Bead Maker definitely left a nice shine!

Corvettes are cool, but the C8 took the brand to a whole new stratospheric level.

Completely agree. I've driven my brother-in-law's C8 a few times now and it's out of this world.


On a side note - a real pain in the butt do machine polishing - so many planes and so few large flat panels. What can you say... progress.



:D

That's awesome Hambo! Couple of great looking rides and i hope they keep that way for years.

I have to cringe though on the narrow driveway...fence just outside the drive on one side and a low brick rise next to the other side of the drive. I can just see kids/grandkids opening those doors into the fence or brick.

And another thing that makes me cringe on so many sweet vehicles over the years that totally fubars, a state required Front License Plate. Just senseless IMO.

In '86, I had bought a brand new Flame Red Metallic Pontiac T/A in Illinois. Told the salesman you put the front license plate bracket on the front, I'm not taking the car!

I walk in the back, and was watching them prep the car, and there's the goon with the Bracket and a Cordless Drill getting ready to mount it!
I ran up and told him "Give me that freaking thing"!, except I didn't use quite those words if you know what I mean.

He said "You'll get a ticket without it"! I told him "don't you worry your sweet little head over such matters"!
