Envious Detailing: one clean corvette

Ill let the pics do most of the talking, but check out this sweet ride! I dont know whats done to it as far as motor mods, but its a healthy ride! Lots of custom pieces throughout the engine compartment (didnt have time to touch it) and a really nice color scheme going on!



My job was to get as much as I could get done in an 8 hour period...I was planning a two step on the whole thing with some extras thrown in, but after working for 9 hours on the paint alone with still lots of tidy up stuff to do, I didnt get as much as I would have liked done. I mean, trying to cram 16-20 hours into 8 hours is not something that I would ever imagine doing. So We agreed on a price for 8 hours or work, but I spent 10 total...no break, no lunch, no stopping!



I have to thank my local sponsor for this detail, I couldnt have done it without you!

Process:

CGWG wash, ez detail brush with CGdiablo wheel gel, CG xtreme wet on tires, CG barebones in wells

paintwork received 105 on orange, 203 on green.

Owner requested RMG and Sounveran as that is what he uses by hand every month or so...its a show car, 11 years old with 25K on the clock! So I applied RMG via black pad, and PS by hand

megs glass cleaner

ONR QD for jamb wipe down



all in all, for just 10 hours of work, it was a HUGE improvement. Pictures dont do it justice. Ill have to meet him at some events and take some day shots as its "SHOW CAR SEASON"

Thanks for looking, I have to keep reminding myself that you cant cram 20 hours of work into one single 8 hour period!!! i slept for 12 hours last night after this one!



Thanks!
 
The hood just glows on the red paint! Nice job!!!



So the correction is mainly with 105 and Power Finish 203???

very nice work. don't really care much for c5's, especially in red, but there's something about this car I'm attracted to.



I haven't heard many people say that before... :nixweiss



The car would look a lot better with a black top though. :cool:
 
That Vette looks familiar...oh yeah, it's mine.

Truly, Eric went "above and beyond" on this detail. It looks incredible. The paint looks better than the day I picked up the car from the dealer. :thx

If I had it to do over again, I would order the black top. At the time, I wanted the oak top to match the oak seats, but that top is a bee-yatch to keep clean.

yeah, I haven't heard many people say they don't like 03/04 cobras even if they hate ford, but it happens...I don't care for c5's, but I love a c6 z06, especially in black.



this car however, is clean :)
 
Rexy, let me know how the show goes...I might make it, but I might have a detail that day now...shoot me an email with the show day/events you will be attending with the car!



Thanks for the compliments fellas! 10 hours later and I wanted to do so much more!!!!
