Hello everybody, my new year's resolution was to get my car to "you're need to sunglasses to look at this thing" levels of shine. I'm trying to learn how to really take care of my car's paint. My car is a '99 Fixed Roof Corvette. I'm mostly focused on going fast, but there's no reason it can't look good. I'm an Army Ordnance Officer (Maintenance) at Fort Bliss, TX (El Paso). I just got back from spending a year in South Korea (sucked).

Major mods are MS4 camshaft/headers+bolt-ons/100 wet shot/3.90 gears

Will be installing some nice cylinder heads this month and then major performance major mods will be complete.

Welcome to AG. Key to the shine is your prep work, a flex, menzerna polishes, danase wet glaze, finish kare 1000p sealant topped with Souveran paste.
Thank you for service to our country
