1986 Corvette Convertible / Indy Pace Car.
This car was my mother-in-law’s 50th B-Day gift in 1986.
The most excitement this hot rod sees these days is a weekly trip to the hair salon (LOL).
The paint was filled with light marring from washing techniques :nervous2: , and a few random scratches for good measure. It’s been 2 years since I detailed her, so it was time for a clean up.
This one took me 6 hours, inside and out. I may have stretched it out a bit to escape the Holiday ‘spirit’ in the house (5 young children, all on sugar highs).
Process Used
Wash:
Before I started I brushed/vac’d the convertible top.
Z7 Wash, A2Z on the wheels, rubber, wells.
Mineral spirits on the lower panels to remove tar build up.
Polish:
ZPC via Metabo & LC CCS Green Pad @ 1400, and CCS finishing Pad @ 700.
Protect:
Z5Pro (zfx’d) x 2 on the paint, wheels, lighting, and jams.
Z16 on the tires, wells, trim, and top.
Interior:
vac
Kids & Pets on a few isolated carpet spots
New floor mats (Christmas gift)
Z7 wash diluted with warm water to wipe down everything.
EO on the glass
Z16 to protect all plastic parts
Z9/Z10 to clean protect the leather.
Here are a few after shots.
In the garage:
A few partial sun shots (any sun is RARE this time of year in Ohio).
:thx

BTW, red is really a great colour when detailed, also as black
