Boot Camp Corvette (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/sign-up-saturday-detailing-101/45521-boot-camp-corvette.html)
My co-worker Jeff and I went and picked up the Corvette for Saturday's class for the car washing and Iron-X portion of the class, also Eco-friendly engine detailing.
Here's a few pictures...

Engine is only mildly dirty, perfect for the eco-friendly session on engine detailing.

Some kine of wear-pattern or staining on the sunroof plus abrasion scratches...

Some kind of contaminants all over the paint, some have a rush color to them, should be perfect for the Iron-X demonstration.

Some kind of stain spots all over the paint...

And of course swirls...

At this time we're only using this Corvette for washing, decontamination and engine detailing. While trained eyes can see swirls in white paint I tend to choose medium to dark colored cars for any paint polishing sessions as it's a lot easier for "all" the students to see the before and after difference.
I'll keep the Vette into the next week and finish the paint for the owner in the evening after work.
