Comments/Questions welcome!

Thanks for looking!

Man that Z06 looks great! Good job on both man!

[BobbyG]

Brian,

Black may be one of those colors that shows everything but unlike every other color, black is the richest and wettest color when detailed correctly... Combine the color black and C6 Z06 Corvette and that's a winning number that can't be beat..

Nice step by step guide to detailing a Z06 Corvette....:dblthumb2:

Gorgeous!! :props:

[Driwash]

They both look great, love the vette. The refections shots are very nice.

Thank you, Bobby! I agree on all points! It's a car I simply love to work on and drool over no matter what.

Appreciate it!


How do you like the Showroomfx white pearl?

I think you're local to me and possibly have met before. I love it for the variety of uses that I put it through. I've gotten great results using it straight up and diluting it as well for an even more matte finish. It's not as high gloss as some which I like. I carry a few different ones just depending on the needs and wants of the job.

BTW, I'm in Dallas for an FYI. Some know me as BBC :props: Steve and I bounce detailing ideas off each other often and send each other work. I'm actually going to see him today to pick up a few things I need that I can't wait for to be shipped. :)

[Twister]

Yes we've met before, I use to hang out with Mellow and everyone.

I have to say I really haven't bought much from Steve since he started Showroomfx. I think I placed an order close to a year ago. I work not too far from him and I always used Tropicare products.

:xyxthumbs:

I don't buy many things from him other than when I need them or his drying towels since they are cheap and again he's close to me too so no shipping costs.

I sometimes use the Blazin Maize and Crystal Black wax he sells on some quick wash and wax customers looking for the bare minimum. Decent stuff at a good price and looks nice. White Pearl is by far the product I use the most from his 'line'. Smart dude and great at what he does.

[Twister]

I'll probably stop by and pick up some white pearl to try out. I've tried using UTTG on the tires on my TA but I guess the rubber is too soft because it doesn't last more than a week.

You did a great job on those vehicles. Looks like you really like ONR, Ive be come addicted to it also. I just started using UWW+ since I used up my ONR and I think I like it even more. You would try it out.

[DRT BRD]

Sounds great and thanks for the words!

I'm restocking here in the next two weeks from Autogeek and ads so i'll make sure to put that in my cart!

[budinsc]
