The owner did not want to wash his C7 till it had a coating on it, so it received it’s first bath post dealership at Absolute Perfection Auto Detailing.


 


ONR was used as the wash media:

Thank you for looking!
 
Beautiful result. Gotta love red. I have to add that I've been to BG twice to watch my cars being built and have never seen anything but untouched paint on cars coming off the line, mine included. The dealers do an excellent job of messing up new paint.
 
Mr. McInnis,


 


Exquisite job on that vette.


 


Great photos + Great work, all happenin' in the boro!  (Not Greensboro either!  Former N.C. resident, I am.)


 


Awesome!

Thank you for the kind words Gabe! Did you live in Goldsboro? 
 
Naw man, Gastonia... G-town, lol.  (Near Charlotte... Western N.C... prior to moving to the left coast.)


 


Keep on, keepin' on brother!
