2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible, M3, STS

[Scottwax]

2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible Special Edition, owner was the 2nd person to order one (making it apparently #3 of 500 since the 1st one was sold at auction at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this year). It is basically a Z06 convertible with the ZR1 magnetic ride suspension, and a leather and alcantara interior. Car was built on or about June 16th (according to what the owner was told) so it is barely two weeks old. Overall the paint was in excellent shape except for some marring on top of the driver's side fender and some deep swirls on the passenger side of the hood between the hood stripes and the fender.

2002 BMW M3, owner has decided it is time to move on to something else so he wanted this M3 cleaned up for sale. I looked at it about a week ago in the sun, had some light rotary swirls in the hood, nothing major. Unfortunately, soon into the detail the sun did a disappearing act behind the clouds.

2005 Cadillac STS, been quite a while since I'd heard from the owner. He's just been busy with work and family. Just wanted to have me clean and protect the finish.

Very nice Scott...you have been busy. What do you normally use on the wheels on your cars?

Thank and yes, we've been very busy as of late. That means less time riding my road bike, but sure beats having all the time in the world to ride.



On most wheels, ONR and a plethora of brushes is enough, at times I need to add Optimum Power Clean to the equation.

Would you mind asking the owner what he is looking to get for the M3 and PM me please?

I like the wheels, they are a ton easier to clean than the OEM or current wheels on his Z06.



I'll find out what he wants for the M3. I believe it has 87k miles on it, 6 speed, tires look good. Some of the interior could use redying and it will need some additional polishing but overall its a really nice car.

I can't say I've seen a White Corvette with Silver stripes. Doesn't look too bad.



Nice work Scott!

Vette looks really nice, not in love with the interior though.
