With how crazy my schedule has been the last few months, my contact at the dealership arranged an overnight lock-in with the owner's approval. This was from 9pm to 9am the following day. Upon arrival I had already pulled a 10hr day....so it was truly a marathon work day/night. Nothing super fancy, but just a lot of work.
On the agenda:
-Take scratches out of every Vette back end with the full width spoiler install (thank you service dept)
-wipe down all showroom Vettes and the ZL1
-wipe down all Vettes in the larger secondary showroom
-wipe down all Vettes in the warehouse (a lot)
-wash, clay, wax, interior cleanup on two Vettes being picked up the following day by their new owners
-Fully correct a 427 vert that was sold and in rough shape.
So there was FAR beyond 12hrs of work to do in the timeframe I had. So the cars were prioritized and after they let me out in the morning and grabbed a few hours sleep I returned and brought Ryan with me to help knock out the massive amount of work ahead. And as it usually goes with dealers, they sprung a few extra surprises on me and asked me to get them done too...
Arrived at about 8:30pm to start setting up. Here is a couple shots of what's to be done...
Warehouse
Primary showroom cars
ZL1 getting its finishing touches
Night Race Blue Z06 getting its cleanup after the 90 min correction around the new spoiler.
After doing about 4 hours in the primary showroom, I moved to the warehouse to handle the two sold cars that were being picked up in the morning. Only took a few pics as I was pressed for time.
Both cars got an Optimum No Rinse wash
All tidied up and ready to go
Back to the primary showroom to correct the issues on the remaining cars...marks kids had made and issues from the spoiler install.
Side-by-side 50/50 shot
Correction finished
