First come first served - '08 Vette

And if you don't show up early enough, you just have to wait...

Case in point:



Car #1 - swirl free paint

Anyways, I started out at 9:30 this morning with this beautiful C6 that was picked up about 2 weeks ago.

This car sits outside so I wanted to make sure that the car had a very good durable foundation (and at the same time looked as goos as possible) as the owner loves to wax his car. (my kind of guy for sure)

Interior was done as well, but didn't take pictures due to all the pollen today. I wasn't going to back out for 2 minutes to have a yellowish car for him.

Process

wash
no claying needed
Poli Seal
CG Etreme top coat
Max Wax
Z16 on tires
Opti seal on wheels (inner rim as well)/jambs/all interior paint including the hood

Just one before as the car was in great shape




AFTERS:

Another great looking Vette Thomas! Now I understand why you didn't have sun shots when you did this Vette and the yellow one...

Re: First come first served - '08 Vette

Very nice work Thomas! I think that color is starting to grow on me for the C6.

I wonder if its the same as the Nassua Blue on some of the C5s:

Thank you Sean - right now it is a little filthy, but I will paint it a nice neutral color, (as I don't care for white walls) next week I hope and I'll put down one (2 actually) of those rubber floors. Plus clear some more junk out as well.

It should look much nicer. BTW, it is a perfect size garage for our 2 cars.
