Re: 40th Anniversary ZR-1 Corvette (8 Days, More Than 60 Hours!!) by RickRack...
It goes without saying, but you are the one of the most talented detailers on this forum, bar none. Thank you for taking the time to do this write-up; my head was spinning (in a good way) as I took my time scrolling through the pictures and commentary. Your work never fails to impress us, so keep it up!
Also, is it safe to say that your new, blue C4 has received the same treatment as that ZR-1?

I always try help out whenever possible and tend stay out of any arguments here on the forum. It's good to know my advice is appreciated! Thanks again!

Rick...
My buddy bought a '98 C5 as a winter car last year... you should do the same!
Actually held up ok.
Unreal work as usual!

kwiker- Wow, I've never had a comment like yours before! Ha, ha... Thanks, I think? LOL Thanks!
2002 Z06- Thanks! It's definitely no Z06, that's for sure!
porta- Thanks a lot Porta!
blucpe- Thanks for the very nice comment! It really means a lot to me.
Bigpoppa3346- Thank you!
mojo11- Thanks! Feel free to drop me a PM if you need any pointers wetsanding...
paradigm- Thanks, I appreciate it!
harold97- Thanks a lot! I agree, I definitely need to buy a lift really soon so save my body some aches & pains. How's your SRT4 looking?
TH0001- Thanks again Todd! I am always looking at your wrire-ups over and over and again. Can't wait to see the next one!
weekendwarrior- Thanks! The color looks pretty different, depending what kind of light you're in. It's a really pretty color.
tdekany- Thank you very much Thomas! Beleive it or not, the newer cars have been worse than the older ones lately! It doesn't make sense?

Re: 40th Anniversary ZR-1 Corvette (8 Days, More Than 60 Hours!!) by RickRack...
blk45- I'll see if I can take a few more next time! Ha, ha... J/K... Thanks!
Moutee- Thanks Moutee! I'm glad you enjoyed the write-up. I have no idea how Todd finds the time to do amazing write-ups on every single car he does. I'm such a slow typer, so it takes me forever!
As for my car receiving the same treatment..... not so much! I have had it for a few months now and have absolutely no time at all to give it the attention it deserves. I work two jobs, sometime over 80 hours/week, so I guess it will have to wait. I'm sure you know how it is! I think I'll pay Ryan to do it! Ha, ha...
whitejavaS500- Thanks Ben! I think I'll pass on the Corvette for a winter car for now!

10/10
Did you have to apply touchup paint to any scratches?

Re: 40th Anniversary ZR-1 Corvette (8 Days, More Than 60 Hours!!) by RickRack...
The SRT is looking awesome! I STILL walk slowly every time I go near it, stare at it a lot!
Of course, after looking at all your guy's write ups, and seeing the other red Corvette, I'd probably lust after a wheelbarrow if you detailed it!
Again, thank you sharing these cars!
