Had this supercharged Callaway Grand Sport Corvette in for a full treatment. Overall the car wasn't too bad but definitely not what a Callaway Corvette should look like.

Wheels and tires

Wheels prepped with Iron-x and tarminator. Tires prepped with LATA.

Wheels coated with PBL wheel coating
Tires dressed with McKee's high gloss tire gel
Wheel wells cleaned and then dressed with hyper dressing.

Engine

Foamed with Tornador foam gun and mix of lata and reset.

Dressed with hyper dressing and stoners aerosol trim shine.

Interior

Cleaned with McKee's total interior cleaner
Dressed with McKee's UV protectant and stoners trim shine.
Interior glass cleaned with stoners invisible glass
Carpets cleaned up with McKee's carpet and upholstery cleaner.

Paint

Foamed with Carpro Reset. 2BM wash. Nanoskin medium towel. Iron-x treatment.

The paint wasn't too bad but it did need some cutting to get it right. G21, BOSS microfiber cutting pad, fast correcting cream. PC7424 with 3in Meg's microfiber cutting pad and fast correcting cream were used for the first stage.

Followed by g21, yellow BOSS perfecting pad and Essence. PC with 3in green flex polishing pad and Essence was also used.

Paint coated with CSL.
Exterior glass coated with PBL glass coating.

Thanks. Yeah the Callaway Corvette isn't something you see around too often. First one I have ever got to touch lol
 
Stunning results, Justin! Absolutely beautiful now. Did you use a 3" pad for your first cut on the entire car?
 
Ahhh, ok. I was just thinking "that's a lotta work".
 
Justin, you're first one I've seen using CSL on top of Essence. I've been wondering if they were compatible. Did you notice CSL behaving any different when your were applying it? Have you done this combo on any other cars in the past that have had real world exposure to the elements? Does the CSL seem unaffected sitting on top of Essence?

I've been topping Essence with C2V3 and several cars and really like the look and the protection. I've given up on Reload.

I have done quite a few vehicles this spring/summer with Essence and CSL. Let me see if I can remember.

Along with this Callaway Corvette below are a few others. I know that the anniversary Corvette and the high country both get driven a lot. No issues as of yet that I have been made aware of.

2015 Black High Country Silverado

Nissan GTR

Not too mention that both of my cars have had Essence topped with CSL.
 
Thanks Justin. The red Corvette looks like it has some serious optical depth to the paint. The GTR looks great too. I did a white 911 with Essence and Pinnacle BL S Y N E R G Y on top and the gloss was just crazy. It has to be best combo I've used on a white car to date.
 
Excellent work and the results show it! Looks great, thanks for posting up!
 
Nice work sir, great vehicle.

What kind of vacuum do you use for the interior? Those vacuum lines look so cool.
