Red Supercharged Z06

The before pics don't show anything, but after claying and wiping it down with 91%, the entire car was swirled and scratched. I spent about 16 hours on it.

products used:

Makita 9227
Megs 62 shampoo with grit guard bucket
Megs wite clay
LC 4" orange with Megs 105
Megs cutting pad with Megs 105
LC 5.5" white pad with Megs 80
Klasse AIO
Megs 26

A few before pics:








I tried out the Lowes Electric Pressure washer (worked great) with dawn:




Pretty contaminated for a new car:


All taped up and ready for battle:








And finally the afters:

Re: Red Supercharged Z06

Looks awesome!!!

I wanted to say "Eww, look at those taillights"... But after staring for a minute or so I think they might actually look pretty good rolling and lit up!

The customer didn't want anything on the tires so I just scrubbed them with Megs APC and rinsed them off

Re: Red Supercharged Z06

Great job. Those twin exhaust in the middle seems awkward.

What a beautiful beast!!!

If your client is worried about sling and grime buildup try out Tuf-Shine. It is dry to the touch and will not attract all the road tar, grime, etc. Best of all it is durable and looks great!
