This is a regular customer of mine, he`s got 2 new Vettes and 2 new SUVs with a new Challenger on the way. (can`t wait to detail that)



This Vette is an 05 DSOM (daytona sunset orange metallic) with heads/cam/headers and a few other mods to go along with a widebody z06 rear end, 19x12` chrome Z06 rims and little custom things here and there all installed and tuned by LG Motorsports.



He showed me the huge trophy he won at the last show he was at. He won first place in the Best of Show class. He wants me to get him some boards showing my services so that he can represent me at shows.



He likes me so much he actually let me take this particular Vette to a show once cause he was going to be out of town that weekend. He said only one rule, no burn outs. :woot:



Enough about me, here`s the car.



Process, just a normal wash, clay, Zaino and interior cleaning. It`s never much work as he doesn`t drive it alot.

To date, it`s got about 5 layers of Zaino on it.:clap:



This is my favorite shot. Notice the painted lower spoiler and rear fender flaps that are typically black, I think they look better painted.

Tires and Wells get Meg`s Hyper Shine 3:1 ration wiped on with a mitt.



Rims get washed twice, once with the brush (if dirty enough) and once with a mitt. Then I go back over them again spraying them with Dirtex and wiping dry with a MF.



Exhaust get polished with Blue Magic Metal Polish and then sprayed with Dirtex and dried with MF.
