Corvette finally detailed right...

Ill let the pics do most of the talking, but check out this sweet ride! I dont know whats done to it as far as motor mods, but its a healthy ride! Lots of custom pieces throughout the engine compartment (didnt have time to touch it) and a really nice color scheme going on!

My job was to get as much as I could get done in an 8 hour period...I was planning a two step on the whole thing with some extras thrown in, but after working for 9 hours on the paint alone with still lots of tidy up stuff to do, I didnt get as much as I would have liked done. I mean, trying to cram 16-20 hours into 8 hours is not something that I would ever imagine doing. So We agreed on a price for 8 hours or work, but I spent 10 total...no break, no lunch, no stopping!

I have to thank my local sponsor for this detail, I couldnt have done it without you!


Process:
CGWG wash, ez detail brush with CGdiablo wheel gel, CG xtreme wet on tires, CG barebones in wells
paintwork received 105 on orange, 203 on green.
Owner requested RMG and Sounveran as that is what he uses by hand every month or so...its a show car, 11 years old with 25K on the clock! So I applied RMG via black pad, and PS by hand
megs glass cleaner
ONR QD for jamb wipe down

all in all, for just 10 hours of work, it was a HUGE improvement. Pictures dont do it justice. Ill have to meet him at some events and take some day shots as its "SHOW CAR SEASON"





















I pulled it out to check the test panel...


looks good to me, time for the rest of the car

1/2 & 1/2 shot





And now the afters: again, no sun shots as I finished at 630pm






Flash, no flash













Thanks for looking, I have to keep reminding myself that you cant cram 20 hours of work into one single 8 hour period!!! i slept for 12 hours last night after this one!

Thanks!

No final detail pics of the Rockstar can?

Just kidding, great work as usual! I actually like the vette, would look better with a black top or FRC hard top. I like the rear end surprisingly well.
