This is not a daily driver, but first time I detailed it was 6 months ago it only have 4,500 miles on it, now 6 months later it`s got 11,000 and still beeding like crazy.
First time over was wash, claybar, paint cleaner, NXT.
This time around dawn wash, claybar, Z5 followed with Z8.
This is after 6 months.......just washing.

Your 3rd foto is awesome! Love the color.
It seems like you`re getting decent longevity from the NXT. I assume this car doesn`t really sit outside, right?

Hey Josh, saw this over at CF and was going to comment there but this is even better. :) Car looks incredible, my favorite color and you`ve done it up just right!

Well, I don`t know how long the NXT lasted, I did layer it up after I used a mild paint cleaner on it after a thorough claybaring 6 months ago.
The owner rarely drives it, yes it`s a garage queen.
I`ve since switched over from NXT to RejeX and Zaino.

Thanks.
The rims he has on it are just perfect and really set it off right.

It`s well cared for. The paint is still nice and pure, no swirls or anything yet. Hopefully won`t be as I maintain it regularly.........

Very nice work. As I said on the other forum, that color when done right is starting to grow on me.

I agree, I didn`t care too much for this color till I did this car.
When cleaned up right and in the sun, it just pops.
Here`s some more pics from the first time I detailed it, you can see it with the painted top still on.

That is the sexiest color Chevy has ever put on a Corvette! I always thought a Corvette should be red but after seeing that...I`ll take one...please!
