Sunset orange corvette with Pinnacle

I finally was able to get this color in my portfolio. I have done all these colors. Reds(victory/magnetic/anniversary/torch), the 2 whites(speedway/artic), blk, yellow, LaMans blue, spiral gray, machine silver, polo green. I am sure I have forgot a few colors too.
The vette was washed with megs gold,with the cobra micro-chenille wash mitt and dried with the guzzler waffle weave. Then the paint was clayed. The vette was never clayed before.
The owner will now be using the 16' deep reach wire wheel brush from AG. Since he saw
how easy it was to clean the inside of the rims.
The tires were dress'd with Pinnacle black onyx tire gel, wells receive armor-all foam.
The rear trim received poorboy's trim restorer.
The paint was polished with brand x product and the pc using a white wolfgang pad.
Pinnacle Souveran paste wax applied with foam applicator and removed with a cobra deluxe jr. microfiber towel(I love these towels)
Pinnacle Souveran liquid spray wax was used as a final step, to remove any dust or wax missed from removal.
Enjoy.

very very nice job!! I would love to clean a vette one day. Hows the buisness up in Cobb county? Good to see some GA people starting to post show and shines.
 
Very nice, it's funny that color never really paid much attention to until my wife pointed it out. It's actually a really nice color.

The paint looks flawless, smooth, slick and so clean. The depth looks really good, on the first picture it looks as though there are bunch of vets around the neighborhood....looks cool.

Oh yea the neighborhood looks really nice.
 
one issue ... the color was changed after only two years, so now there is a second orange to detail !!

I like the color matching calipers!!!
Not a Z-51 though is it?
I LOVE both oranges....considered one of them...can't remember which they had at the time since they had a mix of 06's and a few 07's.

Bomb job!
Reminds me I better get into the garage this weekend!!!!

Very nice work. The tires look great with the Pinnacle tire gel. I've not tried that product ... yet! The trim looks really nice and black too. I've not tired the PB Bold and Bright yet either. Always seems like there are more products to try!
