    2020 C8 Corvette
    Torch Red/Tan interior

    Client’s new Corvette just arrived and he almost immediately brought it in for some correction and protection. Paint had the expected dealer installed swirls. This little red Corvette is now pretty much defect free, super glossy and protected for the foreseeable future!


    The ‘details’:
    Gary Dean shampoo.
    Nanoskin fine grade ‘clay’ mitt.
    Adam’s tire and rubber.
    Adam’s wheel cleaner.
    Adam’s rinse and coat.
    DeFelsko PTG.
    Scangrip lighting.
    Flex 3401.
    Flex ‘pixie’.
    Rupes iBrid.
    Griot’s fast correcting cream.
    Griot’s perfecting cream.
    Optimum panel wipe.
    22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
    Adam’s glass cleaner.
    Metro vacuum.
    GYEON leather shield.
    McKee’s37 fast interior detailer.

    Thank you for looking!

    Very nicely done.....Lots of recent articles about how the front under bumper condensers are completely exposed to road debris, Chevrolet being pressed for a fix. Time for some plastic gutter guard.....

    Absolutley stunning
    That thing has to look wicked in person ! (Not that it dosen't in the picture's)

    I'm jealous, I wanna do a black one.

    It's insane the lack of care for new vehicle's at dealerships.

    Beautiful work!!!!!!

    I've been a long time Corvette fan, but these still haven't grown on me yet. This one definitely needs some Black accents to break up all of the Red.

    Thanks for the responses everyone!

    Wow, didn't know they were having issues, but it makes sense that it is wide open for debris/etc to enter.

    They sound even better than they look! This one was so awesome on cold start! Every time!!

    It'll take a bit, but they will grow on you!

    owner should be refunded the amount he paid you from the stealership

    Its a crime they leave the stealership in that condition

    I too have been a long-time fan and have owned several C2's and early C3's. I loathe this new one, performance aside the only thing I really like is the Stingray emblem. The interior is a hot mess and the a$$ end of this car is horrible ... the designer should be drawn and quartered.

    I sent my fellow alumnus Mary B. an email saying as much but she never got back to me.

    I guess that also means she didn't read my suggestion for how to resurrect the legendary Firebird platform.

    I'm sure the C8 is not the only exotic sportscar that suffers side affects to "open grilles".

    From the linked article, this caught my eye ...

    "Just thinking about Florida's notoriously sticky love bugs and largely exposed cooling parts full of hard-to-clean fins makes me a tad nervous."


    Now THAT would suck.
