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):D
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.

Nice going Ed!

Hope my Garage queen can loook close to that good once I've finished with it
 
Looks great Mr. Corvette (alias Ed). You must detail more vettes then anyone.
 
Nice! Does it look like those wheels are too small for that car? I guess I'm used to looking at the newer vettes.
 
Ed this is why I am going to let you rub on mine! I was thinking just for fun I would run it through an automatic carwash! I don't want it not to be a challenge!

Matt, I can handle it, Meghan and I go way back :rolleyes: :p
 
Ed .... whys your hair sticking up in that pic ??? Static charge from the UPP ???
 
Ed,

Another nice job on a Z06 :)

The wheels just look small due to the factory 4x4 stance.

My car has the same wheels, but I have Pfadt coilovers

I agree lowering makes a huge difference...here are some pics of mine before/after lowering on the stock bolts :cheers:

FASN8N your car looks sick! I wish I could go that low but I'm already scraping going in and out of my driveway :o
