This is my first Click & Brag thread on Autopia, so hello :wavey . I have spent the past two days detailing my Uncle's HSV W427, the W427 is basically a limited edition version of the Clubsport. It features a Corvette LS7 7 Litre V8, delivering 375 KW/503 HP and 640NM of Tourque.

Some of the products used are made by and supplied by a local Australian Detailer. GPC = General Purpose Cleaner (like APC) , PWC = Power Wheel Cleaner and you know what OCW is (Optimum Car Wax)

I don't have too many before shots but here it is



Wheels Before:

Wheels After Two Passes with PWC, GPC on the Calipers and Tyres, and 2 Coats of OCW:

Interior After:

General Condition of the Paintwork Before:

Paintwork was tackled with two passes of Menz 203s on FI Orange, followed by one pass of 106FF on FI Black. LSP was Swissvax Onyx applied with a FI Hand Pocket Wax and Sealant Applicator.



And the After Shots:

haha, yeah I probably should have taken some during shots hey.. But it was ~95 degrees and I just wanted to get it washed and into the garage :p

plus the second shot is a during shot, I clean wheels with my finger :p:p



Thanks mate
 
0 - 60 in roughly 4.7 seconds, which isn't too bad for a car weighing in at close to 2 tonne . The mental factor is what makes this car special :p
 
that has to be one of the most beautiful cars on the road worldwide..... having come from a gto, im a big fan fan of holden.... i would love to have a real one, i was about to order the monaro front clip and side markers for my gto but it got totaled
 
having had an f body and drove c5 vettes, holden has it down. my goat only had 26000 miles on it, and i beat the crap outta it daily. it never had a rattle, developed more road noise, and the ride was so smooth. not not for a 13.6 sec bolt on car that is as fat as a pig... god i miss her, she was the one that made me appreciate auto detailing
 
Looks like G8....



great job on it btw.





oh, and your steering wheel is on the wrong side....i hear they make correction kits for this.... :p
 
lol, yer the G8 etc were based off the standard Commodore's, this is a unique look, even though its built on the same chassis and same shell lol



and no, your steering wheels are all on the wrong side :p
