2007 Corvette



I’ve been trying to get in touch w/ the owner, Greg Allman (Allman Brothers Band) of this car for a while now, but it’s been pretty tough. He lives here when he’s not on the road touring. I knew he was looking for someone to take care of his vehicles, but I just wasn’t able to get my foot in the door until last Tuesday. I stopped by a local gas station to get a drink when I saw this bad azz burnt orange Vette. I was going to give a card to whoever the owner was, and when I walked in the door to I saw it was him. I went back outside and waited on him to come out. I was really nervous, but I just introduced myself and told him what I did and how I would love to have the opportunity to detail his Vette. He was very cool and asked when was the soonest I could do it. I told him tomorrow morning, and he was thrilled. He had two cars he wanted me to detail, one being the Vette and the other a 08 Tahoe LTZ package. The Tahoe was a brand new and gray in color. It also comes w/ stock running boards that come down when a door opens and go up when they’re closed. Anyway here are the processes.

Dash, panels, and seats wiped down w/ woolite mix

Diamondnite Glass Cleaner

DP Interior Protectant

Megs Leather Cleaner and Conditioner applied bare handed

for suggestion and Justin for sample)

All MF used were AG guzzlers and the blue and purple polishing ones.





Here are some pictures, but I didn’t take any befores because it was fairly clean and it good shape. I was just trying to give it more wetness and slick feel.

I supposed to call him around the 25th of this month to do more. He’s getting a two new toys later this month. The first is a new Mustang Shelby that he sent to Shelby motorsports in Vegas to get finalized w/ all new suspension, brakes, and 600 HP. He is also getting a brand new Arlen Ness motorcycle tomorrow. Hopefully I get my hands on the car and some of his motorcycles next time. Enjoy!

You're right. I didn't have time to take 30 or 40 pics. I had another one to get to before July 4th celebrations. Thanks for compliments!

Both look really good! How long does it take those boards to fold out?



About a second to come out and then it has a 2 second delay before going back up. It's an awesome feature. It makes the Tahoe look some much cleaner and meaner in my opinion. I feel the running boards take away from the look.
 
Nice work both look great.....I like your trailer too.



Reflections trailer in the Tahoe reflection..nice touch.
