Trashed Corvette brought back

[imported_ZGone]

Yep, got mine the other day too. Put 303 protectant on everything I own. Great stuff......and what a great price. Thanks to Bill for the camping world lead on this one.

I got my gallon last friday from camping world. It says on the bottle that it can be used on leather? If dirty a good cleaning would be required at first?

 

[imported_killerjg]

I would recommend you clean the leather first. Ideas: Eagle One 1 works very well, Lexol's not bad. I haven't used my Pinnacle Leather cleaner in my car yet, but I'm sure it will be very good. Had to use it on a leather couch and it worked great.



I use 303 every few weeks vice my normal conditioner.

I received my gallon of 303 from camping world on friday, I looked at the receipt in the box and I got overcharged. They charged me $49.97+$1 shipping. The correct price is $43.97+ $1 shipping. $6 difference. I called the customer service # and they will issue the $6 credit to my CC.



Make sure you check your receipt.

At the 303 Products website http://www.303products.com/home.htm a pop-up window saids they have an agreement to supply True Value Hardware stores nationwide through the Tru-Serve parts distribution system.

I haven't had a chance to check the stores locally yet. Has anyone seen 303 Products at their local store and if so, how's the price?

This client came to me looking to bring the "newness" back to his 05 Corvette vert. Over the phone he mentioned it had never been detailed before but he realized it would cost a bit to bring it back and he was fine with that. This was only a 2 step correction, but there was so much wrong on this car that it took nearly 20 hours to bring it back.

I have to apologize for the pictures, my battery on the DSLR completely died and wouldn't charge. I always keep my old point and shoot Nikon just in case, and it came in handy. So the quality isn't quite as good, but it still tells the story well.



Here's what I started with... :scared:

Unknown stains on the paint

License plate removed, probably the first time since it was new

Severely neglected exhaust tips

There were parts like this all over the car. Ancient wax never fully removed. It was basically like concrete now. It took multiple compounding passes with M105 to remove.

After removal

More old wax/concrete

Corrected! Shown with 3 light sources (Halogen, Brinkman Xenon, and Camera flash

Hood corrected

More disaster on the front bumper...

Corrected

So many others miss this spot... gap between door and front fender. Try to use a MF to get this and the shape of the door will just feed it into the fender and not clean anything, so you gotta bust out the q-tips for this one.

The 50/50 shot

Corrected and shiny again

All finished, sealed with 2 coats of Zaino Z5pro, wheels/exhaust sealed with ZAIO, top treated with RaggTopp. Interior was bad too, but was under too much of a time crunch for pics. Again pics would have been better if my DSLR battery hadn't died...oh well

Thanks for looking!

[imported_Luster]

Trashed indeed! Nice turnaround. I love working on those cars since I discovered "Surbuf"!:cornut:

 

[bmw5541]

Great job Jeff. That was some nasty wax residue left on the car. You brought her back for sure.:thumbup:

 

[michakaveli]

Great job.... :thumbup:

 

[Ron-M]

You really brought it back. It looks great now. I wonder if the owner did the previous wax job?

 

[GoFast908Z]

Thanks guys!

Actually he paid to have it done somewhere :toetap05:

 

[Old Pirate]

Great save there Jeff, it really needed it!

 

[imported_gewb]

Nice recovery!

That "wax" build up from the previous "detailers" looks like several coats of Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish that were not applied properly.
