Here we have a 2007 Corvette Z06. I do this car 4 times a year so it stays in great shape. A few weeks back I got the new Optimum Finish in so I couldn't wait to try it out on this yellow to see what type of gloss I could achieve. I'll let the pictures do the talking as I was really impressed with the results and yet another great product from Optimum. Also the owner of the car works about 2 miles away so I got to drive the car over to the house and back :chuckle:

Wash via ONR

Clay w/ ultra fine clay where needed

Optimum Finish via Black LC pad @ 900-1400-900

Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze via White LC pad @ Speed 6 on PC

Optimum Opti-Seal

Optimum Car Wax v2



Wheels received Optimum Poli-Seal.



Interior was vacuumed, leather was treated using Zaino Z9 and Z10.



A few before pictures. Car still had some decent protection left but could use a good cleanup.

Looks good, and I hate to be the one to do this, but it looks like some RIDS are still there on what looks to be the back hatch. It's in one of the shots near the bottom.



Maybe this wasn't a full correction?

LOL sorry for not making it more clear. I never do a full correction for this car.. Just a light polish with some protection. I thought it was clear saying I do this car every 4 months. There are a few RIDS left but it cleaned up nicely for just OF.
 
No worries at all. Like I said, I wasn't trying to call you out or anything like that....No malice intended whatsoever.



Nonetheless, the car looks great. Cheers!

Very nice, I just picked up a 8oz bottle of Optimum Finish as well, looking forward to using it possibly this weekend... maybe even later today if it'd stop raining!
 
Yellow is a tough color to get glowing and you did an awesome job, good choice on the EZ creme, on medium colors it really does make a difference!

I see that a lot of people use the CG glazes. When do you apply them in the process?

Thanks

I apply this step after doing any type of polishing. It cleans the paint really well and makes a nice clean surface for the protection to bond too.
