So when I arrived at my cust house to do that escalade i posted... i saw in the garage their corvette sitting there with rain drops all over it (it had rained that night). I have only touched this car once in the 8 months I have been cleaning their cars. It's the husbands, and doesn't even have 10,000 miles on it. So I wanted to cry upon closer observation that there swirl marks and water sport!!!! AAAGGGGHHHHHH:mad: The lady of the house came by outside and I basically told her I would wash the car for free... not only because they pay me over $200 a month, but beause the car was crying out to me for help. So of course she said yes and I was relieved and the car came out ok.

Exterior:
hand wash RL shampoo w/wax, grit guard bucket
RL medium duty clay
Stoners Tarminator on front end and panels and body
(lots of tar spots on back end)
dry with chamio, air compressor to blow out cracks and large mf to soak up execss water
Cyclo with green pad and XMT 360
(on side note, after applied and buffed off, the car looked greasy and no matter what i did I couldn't get it off, that's reason for next step)
Cyclo with blue pad and RL glaze
Tires and trim dressed with RL exterior tire and trim dressing
Wheels cleaned with RL quick spray detail
Final wipe RL quick spray detail
Windows Stoners IG
Exhaust buffed by hand with RL aluminum polish

Interior:
Vac w/ 3 stage vac system
Spot treated mats with Blue Coral Dri-Clean and interior brush
With interior down with RL all purpose
RL leather conditioner on seats
Windows Stoners IG

ya, not sure what happened, i used it on another of their cars couple of hrs earlier and it tured out great,but when applied to the vette, it wasn't making me happy, even after the glaze it still looked little greasy
 
Can it be something the owner had applyed on the car? another wax etc?

Had that problem with the NXT once, the sealer underneath didnt like that wax. had to use stronger cleaner to get the bonding right.

Anyway, the Z 06 turned out just like i thought it would in your hands. Supreme
 
Nice job! It looks alot better. Some people just don't care about their cars.
 
thats not a 06 Z06 ..... its an 02 at best, and likely an 01. Check the badge, if its says 405hp its an 02, if just Z06 on side its 01 and 385hp. Sorry but it screamed wrong to a Vette owner.

well heck, i'd rather detail this one than the older one, however for being as old as it really is, for only 9,000 something miles on it... pretty good shape!!
