Had the pleasure of giving a little love to this brand new C7 ZO6 over the past few days. Been waiting for this job since the beginning of the year when the customer first ordered it. This was the first C7 I have worked on and being a ZO6 it was nice to pick out all the race inspired features, from the brake cooling ducts, huge brakes and even the smooth underbody for aero purposes.

This customer drove 150 miles north and left his baby with me for the week to give it a thorough going over. Upon arrival the 500 mile car was a little dirty but overall was in nice shape. And even proved to be in good shape after the initial prepping stages.

Washed with Meguiars gold class shampoo
Paint iron-x and Fine nanoskin mitt
Wheels removed and cleaned with Iron-x, coated with BF Crystal Coat
Tires cleaned with Tuff Shine and topped with BF Total Eclipse tire shine
Carpeted wheel wells blown out with compress air. Plastic liners treated with prototype trim protectant
Calipers cleaned and coated with BF Crystal coat
Interior wiped down with BF interior cleaner
Leather coated with CQuartz leather coating
carpets vac'd, interior windows cleaned

Paint was in real good shape with very minor marks in it. I used SF4000, prototype white polishing pad on a Makita Rotary with slower rpms to bring out the gloss which worked very well. Also used my Flex PE8 with a green Flex polishing pad on tighter areas.

Paint was prepped with BF coating prep spray.
Paint coated with PBL V2
Glass Coated with PBL glass coating


Onto the pictures!

Great job! Chevy absolutely killed it with the new Vette. Once again great job
 
Nice car, nice work. Pretty sweet to get your hands on a brand new car.
 
Outstanding job my friend! I would have to rent a enclosed trailer to take it back home:)
 
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Ya know it's truly ashame that you don't receive the car in that condition. I guess they really don't care and that in fact is if you could pick it straight from the factory, the car would be a whole lot nicer. Guess all you pro's would miss out on the primo cars that folks want top notch from the beginning. Excellent detail Smokinss, I aspire to be that good. Thanks and take care.

Peace,

Thank you very much for the kind words. If you keep at it and be confident in your work you will succeed.

Nice work! Car looks great. Chevy did a great job with the C7...

Thank you. Unfortunately he will be driving it home first thing tomorrow morning.
 
Great work Justin. Nice to hear you're still using that Makita. I did a 14 Stingray a few weeks ago and will doing a maintenance wash tomorrow on it. How many hours did you spend on the exterior? I used my flex and kompakt and had about 18 hours into it.

Luckily this one didn't need any major correcting. Just a nice finish polish/jeweling. Had about 13-15 total into the whole job.
 
Beautiful work Justin. Nothing like a properly detailed Red Vette
 
Fantastic!

Those have to be the cleanest wheel barrels I've ever seen :D
 
Very thorough and detailed work. Good to see this car getting the love it deserves. Nice job :)
