Thanks for looking!!!

Thanks Scott for the inside info on this one!

[Reddwarf]

Really nice work! The Wolfgang FG + Souvern paste wax looks great. It makes such a nice deep wet shine on that blue. did I read correctly that you used Wolfgang Sealant too? How long did you let it cure before the wax?

[Wendell Jarvis]

Clay, As usual you did a terrific job, looks fantastic...especially the last picture of the hood shot, man that blue is popping !! Good to see ya posting !! Hey, that car would be considered a UK Blue, correct? Ha, ha UK doesnt have too much to brag about right now. See Ya Brother !!

[Emile]

An automatic Corvette?

No thanks.

Superb job, though.

[sqeekykleen]

Wow what a great job! That last hood shot is fantastic!!!

[Meghan]

Very nice turn around Clay, that car needed you!

[alowe]

Did you apply the dealer plastic on the driver side floor mat? How was this accomplished?

[ScottB]

rather stunning results ... nice glossy combo too.

[r0ckstrWS6]

how long did the whole detail take you?

[imageautodetail]

detail took about 10 hours, thanks killerwheels, I love the look of wax on top of WGDGPS, dealer plastic is on a roll, lay it out trim, cut some tabs fold over

[killrflake]

Beautiful blue Vette, and I love the outdoors pictures.
