Helluva Job! I know what a pain it is to tackle those corvette clears, and finish perfect.

Re: 2005 vette - 12 hours

I would bet a cold beer that the "detailers" used a green wash brush on that paint. I see it all the time on "dealer" recoveries.

Nice detail!

How'd you like that clear?

12 hours on that Vette is a helluva work day, but you really turned that around. WHat a beauty. It's amazing how people can mar such beautiful cars!

Re: 2005 vette - 12 hours

Oh yes, Much better now....

Its good to know that when a vette is really bad I am not the only one that takes a long time to do it right.

Re: 2005 vette - 12 hours

Did the other detailers use a rake to clean the car?! Amazing turnaround. Time well spent and hopefully equally paid. I absolutely love the color!

Re: 2005 vette - 12 hours

Yeah, great job! The sorry state of the car "before" makes me cringe at what some people call "detailing."

Guess I better give my Fairfax-based brother a heads-up.

Re: 2005 vette - 12 hours

thanks everyone! I am going back on the 19th to add another layer of protection. I will be taking care of his car from now on.

Chris: I charge by the hour, so it was a pretty good pay day.

Hey, Moe! - have your brother call me!
