Classic Stingray Detailed + Speedster sun pics

Had the great pleasure of detailing this ALL original Corvette Stingray the other day. Ron and I love this car....sounds like a dream!

The paint was thin in some areas so we decided not to use any machines and in some areas we had some light crazing of the finish so we opted not to use any paste wax or polishes.

So we reached for Poli-Seal and did all the paint work by hand. Chrome was polished using Rolite and the engine and interior were cleaned using our steamers.

Here are a few quick AFTER pics......



















































More pics.......

Absolutely beautiful car! The paint looks really good for its age and just a hand polish.

Re: Classic Stingray Detailed + Speedster sun pics

Now these are pics of the red 57 Porsche Speedster we detailed a few weeks back out in the sun. This is topped off with something in the beginning phases from Optimum and truthfully the very first car finished with it in a complete fashion. Prior to this I had only applied it to single panels.

We (Ron, David and I) were worried a bit how it would take to a single stage paint but upon seeing it in the sun our concerns were laid to rest.






























Thanks,
Anthony

Wow!, that's so classy it's unbelievable.

Stingray's interior work is soo nice and past OE specs.
