2007 Corvette
I’ve been trying to get in touch w/ the owner, Greg Allman (Allman Brothers Band) of this car for a while now, but it’s been pretty tough. He lives here when he’s not on the road touring. I knew he was looking for someone to take care of his vehicles, but I just wasn’t able to get my foot in the door until last Tuesday. I stopped by a local gas station to get a drink when I saw this bad azz burnt orange Vette. I was going to give a card to whoever the owner was, and when I walked in the door to I saw it was him. I went back outside and waited on him to come out. I was really nervous, but I just introduced myself and told him what I did and how I would love to have the opportunity to detail his Vette. He was very cool and asked when was the soonest I could do it. I told him tomorrow morning, and he was thrilled. He had two cars he wanted me to detail, one being the Vette and the other a 08 Tahoe LTZ package. The Tahoe was a brand new and gray in color. It also comes w/ stock running boards that come down when a door opens and go up when they’re closed. Anyway here are the processes.
2007 Corvette:
Interior: Vacuumed via Rigid 5HP 12 gallon
Dash, panels, and seats wiped down w/ woolite mix
Diamondnite Glass Cleaner
DP Interior Protectant
Megs Leather Cleaner and Conditioner applied bare handed
Exterior:
Wash: Foam w/ DP Extreme Foam (more foam than any other soap)
Clay: not clay needed (garage kept)
Polish: Optimum polish via PC and green EDGE pad
Glaze: XMT Glaze via PC and blue EDGE pad (thanks ED higend detail
for suggestion and Justin for sample)
LSP: CG Jet Seal (thanks FMIMUS)
Wheels: CG Jet Seal
Tires: Hyper Dressing applied w/ the air paint sprayer
Glass: DG Aquawax
All MF used were AG guzzlers and the blue and purple polishing ones.
Here are some pictures, but I didn’t take any befores because it was fairly clean and it good shape. I was just trying to give it more wetness and slick feel.

I supposed to call him around the 25th of this month to do more. He’s getting a two new toys later this month. The first is a new Mustang Shelby that he sent to Shelby motorsports in Vegas to get finalized w/ all new suspension, brakes, and 600 HP. He is also getting a brand new Arlen Ness motorcycle tomorrow. Hopefully I get my hands on the car and some of his motorcycles next time. Enjoy!
