2005 Vette

[autobrite]

The doors and dash had a white chalky substance on them. Cleaned with APC 4:1 and treated with HD 2:1. Conditioned the seats with Gold Class conditioner. The carpets were vacuumed and steamed. Clayed the door jambs and topped with M21.

Before:

Afters:

The exterior was in pretty good shape. Washed the car with ONR and the rims were cleaned with Wheel Brite 4:1. No real paint correction was needed. There was however some residue left from a protective film the customer had on the front of the car that needed to be removed using 3M adhesive remover. After that was done I clayed the car and polished with M205 and an LC white pad. Topped it off with M21. The tires and plastics were dressed in ASD. I cleaned the engine with Super Degreaser and dressed up with HD 2:1. Cleaned and polished the tips with megs Mag and Wheel.

Before:

The left over residue.

Afters:

Thanks for viewing.

Did the owner, tell you what he had done to make the interior turn chalky white?

No, he didnt tell me what he had used. He just said that it had been neglected.

that car looks like it was in a body shop, all the dust in the interior and under the hood resembles such like it was left open. Great turnaround however ...

The interior turning white is very common on the vettes if you do not treat the plastic often.

You're right. When I bought my C6 z06, the original owner only drove it 5K miles in 3 years. The interior wasn't that white, but it did have areas that looked like that.

I have heard the stories of white interiors (originally black) in the Vettes, but never to this extent. I store mine for 6 months at a time, and never a hint of whiting. This is boggling for sure ...
