    BrendanS Welcome to Detailing

    Detailed this black C5 Vette, got to use my Autoglym HD Wax which definitely brought out some nice shine on this paint. Car was in pretty good condition other than the holograms from the previous detailer. Just a light coat of dirt on the paint, didn't take much out of the paint either in terms of claying. I didn't take any interior pictures, just some befores, durings, and a few afters.

    yeah. Nice work . . . . what a PITA to be driving on wood to get the jack in there but nice work all and all. Tell the guy he needs some correction bad as the swirls and halo's do that Vette no justice.
