Detailed: '06 Z-06 Corvette... Not for weak at heart

[Dust2Glory]

So when I arrived at my cust house to do that escalade i posted... i saw in the garage their corvette sitting there with rain drops all over it (it had rained that night). I have only touched this car once in the 8 months I have been cleaning their cars. It's the husbands, and doesn't even have 10,000 miles on it. So I wanted to cry upon closer observation that there swirl marks and water sport!!!! AAAGGGGHHHHHH:mad: The lady of the house came by outside and I basically told her I would wash the car for free... not only because they pay me over $200 a month, but beause the car was crying out to me for help. So of course she said yes and I was relieved and the car came out ok.

Very nice....you did this at no charge, very nice of you...good job buddy.

I like the way the reflection of the paint...looks sweet :righton:

[Truls]

360 greasy?

ya, not sure what happened, i used it on another of their cars couple of hrs earlier and it tured out great,but when applied to the vette, it wasn't making me happy, even after the glaze it still looked little greasy

[Truls]

Can it be something the owner had applyed on the car? another wax etc?

Had that problem with the NXT once, the sealer underneath didnt like that wax. had to use stronger cleaner to get the bonding right.

Anyway, the Z 06 turned out just like i thought it would in your hands. Supreme

Nice job! It looks alot better. Some people just don't care about their cars.

thats not a 06 Z06 ..... its an 02 at best, and likely an 01. Check the badge, if its says 405hp its an 02, if just Z06 on side its 01 and 385hp. Sorry but it screamed wrong to a Vette owner.

well heck, i'd rather detail this one than the older one, however for being as old as it really is, for only 9,000 something miles on it... pretty good shape!!
