2001 Vette Red (lots of pics)

[imported_rydawg]

Pictures do this car no justice on the way this came out. The customer was floored when he seen the car done. He gave me a nice crisp green tip:grinno: He wasn`t expecting it to look this good.



This is a members car here that wanted a complete new car makeover. This car is in decent shape but has tons of tar, yellow paint, and bugs. There were also tons of bugs in the clear bra and the clear bra had tons of swirls. It has never been polished before.



Car has been modified and has nice cams and a nice exhaust. This thing really rumbles.



Did a wash and clay for hours to remove all the crap on the paint. I also used tar remover too. I was very impressed after 3 to 4 hours of scrubbing.



Wash: Zaino Wash/ pinkstuff mix



Wheels: p21s wheel cleaner



Polish: Menzerna PO85rd3.02 on yellow LC pads via rotory. (very rock hard clear) Very nice polish and I know why it is sold out everywhere in the world. Removes scratches and gives an unbelievable gloss in one step. I have mastered this new polish and the new learning curve.



Finish polish: PO106ff but left these faint tiny marks, so I used ZPC on most areas



Wash



ZAIO on LC white pad via pc quickie just too assure that all the menzerna oils are off. Took 30 minutes for this process



Z5Pro (zfx) x2



CS (made a huge dramatic improvement in gloss and slickness) Very impressive on red



Next day did Z8 and boy this was glossy and slick with very nice depth.



When I brought it outside I was way beyond impressed and I could not believe how glossy and deep it was. Sorry I still got my crappy camera and there was no sun. Thank god it was not raining yet.



Thanks for looking!

Thanks Scott, Diesel and everybody else.



Some pics came out blurry but they still came out good for being no sun. When I am getting up close gloss shots, the reflection from the car throws the balance off the camera. It`s only a elcheapo kodak camera.



Next I have to do his black Traiblazer SS. The hard part is him dropping it off and he lives on the other side of the state and is an hour ride.



Vettes are nice when done, but doing them is somewhat of a tough task trying to remove the defects.



He was very impressed how nice I got the clear bra looking. Like I said he was in shock when he had seen it. We sat outside the garage and I had the door opener in hand and said open that door. The smile on his face was priceless.

Ryan, can you compare RD3.02 to a Presta polish?

[gmblack3]

[mr.ikon]

Tremendous gloss on that one! Nice effort :)

While looking at the before pics, I was thinking "how much more could be improved?". The car didn`t look too bad in the before pics. You sure proved me wrong :)
