This is one of three corvettes I did last week.
This was a pleasure to work on. Built by Retro Tech and powered by MTIracing.
The color is Silver Pearl. That is what was used in 1967.
This was a exterior only detail, interior will follow after some work being done.
The Wash
Started with a wheel brush, and Dawn for the tires and rims. Then made a new soap mix.
Surf city pb wash and the Shmitt. Washed one panel at a time then clayed the panel. Then dried with Cobra WW.
The Game Plan
I went with Optimum Polish and 3m extra cut and a CCS yellow 5.5 pad. PC speed spread at speeds 3-4. Then worked it at speed 6.
After that was all done, went with a white 5.5 polishing pad and Optimum Polish. I did have to use a foam hand org/gry pad for a few areas.
The new WG 3.0 DGPS was put on last for a slick wet shine. It is a little thicker then the older version, and same color. When removing it, had less dust. Same static charge, and seemed a little slicker. The WG was also used on the chrome bumpers too.
Tires received Surf City beyond black.
Oh by the way it has a new LS7 under the hood.
