    2006 C6 - cleaned up show/cruiser

    I first did this car 2 years ago in preparation for a car show. Spent 4 days working the paint till it was flawless. The car tied for first place with 99.8 points at the show.

    Client called me up to give the car a freshening up for another show. It didn't need as much work this time as it had mostly wash-induced swirls and wipedowns at shows. So just some light correction was needed. Products of choice were Menz SIP, 106FA, and BFWD x2.



    Before

























    After SIP







    After 106FA










    Finished pics
    (a little smearing from the BFWD as pics were taken before final wipedown)




































    Thanks for checkin it out!

    I really like everything about this car except for the silly ricer mesh. Yes, I know they took it directly off the competition cars, but still looks absurd.
    Also, I may have overlooked it, but I don't think the price was mentioned in the article. Can anyone enlighten me?

    The mesh is hardly ricer. Something as small as that can serve a practical purpose protecting the radiator and other engine components from rocks, bugs and various other road debris (depending on strength of mesh).
