    This is a client’s wife’s car. She loves it! She has been a Corvette owner and fan for years!

    The paint has the usual heavy swirls and minor scratches. Car is kept very ‘clean’ though.

    Cherry pie anyone?!

    Wheels/calipers sealed with McKee’s37 Hydro Blue.
    Engine bay cleaned with Adam’s APC.
    DeFelsko PTG.
    Misc. MF towels.
    Flex 3401, Rupes MkII 21, Rupes iBrid, Beta-test cordless polisher.
    Misc. foam pads.
    Griot’s Fast Correcting Cream.
    Griot’s Perfecting Cream.
    Optimum Panel Wipe for final wipe down.
    22ple glass coating for LSP.
    Engine bay trim coated with IGL trim coating.
    Tire dressing: McKee’s37 Hi Gloss.
    SCG Pro glass cleaner.
    Metro Vacuum.
    McKee’s37 quick interior detailer.

    Paint came out gorgeous! Never knew the Stingrays had such a competive 0-60 time. I always figured it was around 4.5 seconds. Great work as always!

    Nice one Scott!

    Geeze, it don’t half look stunning in Red! Weirdly enough, I cannot recall seeing a Red one before.
    Superb workmanship as usual, great write up & super pictures.

    Thank you for sharing mate.

    Dang bro. Check your driveway for paint that dripped off that wet vette. Sweet work as always bro.

    Re: Little Red Corvette!

    The corvette came out looking beautiful! I know production paint is not that thick but I thought it would be better than 3.2 mils! That is GM's halo car not a Camaro at only 3.2 mils! I was thinking 4-5 mils.
