    This is a 2003 Corvette Zo6 with 11'600 miles on her.

    When you see the first few before pics, you will see why I was contacted.
    This was a full long, full sun two day detail. I started it on friday morning, and had to stop at 2:30 to go to another clients. This corvette was last minute schedule. So I headed back on sunday to finish the other half.​


    The vette had a layer of dust on it.

    The Wash
    Two gallon water and DP 4 in 1 with a mf towel. Dried with cobra guzzler.
    Tire received surf city beyond black, one coat applied.

    The Interior
    Leather seats were cleaned with Z-9 leather cleaner. Then conditioned with Z-10.
    Carpets were vacuumed then cleaned. Dash/console/door panels were wiped down with DP Interior Surface Protectant.

    The Gameplan
    I started with the new cobra cross grove org cutting pad, and Menz SIP. The DeWalt speed set between 1400-1600. (you don't need a wool pad on a corvette like they say on other forums):crasy:
    After that fun was done, I pulled out the pc with a low profile org pad, with optimum polish. After that was done to the whole car, I went back over it again with a new to me green ccs 5.5 pad with optimum polish.

    The Final Bling
    I went with Four Star UPP. I used the pc and a gray ccs pad to apply it to the finish. Let it sit for 15min then removed it with a cobra deluxe jr.

    Excellent work. Nothing is sexier than a clean black car.
    On a side note a friend of mine had one of his GN's modded to walk away from his friend's 2002 Z06. To hear him tell that story is classic.

    He's got 3. One is more modified than the other two. He drives them on a regular basis. I get to clean them up on a regular basis.

    Very nice work there HighEndDetail :worship: vehicle looks great :thumb:

    As for using a wool pad on a Vett, yea I would have to agree with you on this one..well I've always read about how hard the clear coat was on the Vett's but the ones we detailed were really not that bad at all..I man a polishing pad did just fine...well that's just my opinion :shrug:

    Thank you for sharing the detail though, the vehicle looks great :thumb:
