2015 Corvette Z06 treated to CQuartz UK

[haris300]

This weekend I got a chance to work on the new Z06 Corvette. My customer picked the car up from the dealership as soon as it arrived, so lucky for me there were hardly any defects for me to correct. No DISO! What a relief.

No 50/50s or before and afters this time around. Sorry guys :laughing:

After a 2 bucket wash, Iron X chemical decontamination, and Nanoskin fine grade mitt mechanical decontamination, I dried the car with a Dry Me a River microfiber towel and a Metro Vac N' Blo and brought it inside to inspect the condition.

There were a few scratches on one the front fenders and some strange circle scratches on the fuel tank lid. I also noticed some sticky residue on the tail lights which came out easily with some APC. Other than that, the car was in very nice condition.

I polished the car with Lake Country Hybrids and Optimum Hyper Polish. I used FG400 to remove the strange circle scratches on the fuel tank lid.

After a thorough wipe down with CarPro eraser, I applied the CQuartz UK. Wheels and glass were protected with Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating. Tires were dressed with Meguiar's D170 Hyper Dressing.

This was definitely a very fun detail. I also got to try out my new T5i DSLR.

The car sounded as good as it looked too. It just made 743hp at LMR here in Houston after some mods and tuning.

Well that's all I got. Thanks for looking!

Nicely done! That Z06 looks phenomenal now after your TLC.

[fly07sti]

Great work. Good looking shop too.

Great work. Good looking shop too.

Haha this is actually at my customer's house. He has a pretty sweet garage with 2 lifts, air conditioning, and satellite radio. Still working on getting a shop of my own. Hopefully it will be as nice as this garage :cool:

Sick ride and excellent work!

Greta job on that awesome ride. Chevy kicked butt on the new vette. That car does it all

Looks great. Amazing gloss.
What did you clean the wheels with?

Adams Deep Wheel Cleaner, a Speed Master Jr. brush, and a small Wheel Woolie. Lugs were cleaned with a boars hair brush.

The Adams cleaner is safe on Carbon Ceramic rotors? I thought only Sonax was?

I wasn't worried about the brakes absorbing product since I carefully sprayed the wheel face from the side without allowing it to get on the rotors. I didn't spray into the barrels and agitated the wheel face gently like usual. The insides of the wheel barrels were just cleaned with my Wheel Woolie and the Duragloss car wash concentrate from my wheel bucket. The Speed Master brushes were far too large to fit into the barrels. I probably could have just cleaned the faces with Duragloss shampoo as well, but I guess I just wanted them as clean as possible before applying the Pinnacle coating.

Wow. That car is super clean!
