Torch Red Z06 Corvette

This car just came in on consignment and needed a quick sprucing up. It is probably one of the cleanest, unmolested Corvettes I've seen in a while. The only scratches on the car were on the panel right behind the trunk which were probably caused from leaning over to get into the trunk. I hit the scratches with some Menzerna IP with a foam cutting pad followed by some Final Polish II with a finishing pad. The car was so mint, so I didn't feel it was necessary to polish the complete exterior. Instead I buffed it with RMG and topped it with some Natty's Blue. I think the car came out pretty good considering I just glazed it. Not 100% but definitely not bad for only an hour worth the work.

Here are the pictures:

Some of the shots really show off the dripping wetness of the paint. Whole car's looking really clean.
