Here we have a 2007 Corvette Z06. I do this car 4 times a year so it stays in great shape. A few weeks back I got the new Optimum Finish in so I couldn`t wait to try it out on this yellow to see what type of gloss I could achieve. I`ll let the pictures do the talking as I was really impressed with the results and yet another great product from Optimum. Also the owner of the car works about 2 miles away so I got to drive the car over to the house and back :chuckle:

Wash via ONR

Clay w/ ultra fine clay where needed

Optimum Finish via Black LC pad @ 900-1400-900

Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze via White LC pad @ Speed 6 on PC

Optimum Opti-Seal

Optimum Car Wax v2



Wheels received Optimum Poli-Seal.



Interior was vacuumed, leather was treated using Zaino Z9 and Z10.



A few before pictures. Car still had some decent protection left but could use a good cleanup.

Looks good, and I hate to be the one to do this, but it looks like some RIDS are still there on what looks to be the back hatch. It`s in one of the shots near the bottom.



Maybe this wasn`t a full correction?

LOL sorry for not making it more clear. I never do a full correction for this car.. Just a light polish with some protection. I thought it was clear saying I do this car every 4 months. There are a few RIDS left but it cleaned up nicely for just OF.

No worries at all. Like I said, I wasn`t trying to call you out or anything like that....No malice intended whatsoever.



Nonetheless, the car looks great. Cheers!

Very nice, I just picked up a 8oz bottle of Optimum Finish as well, looking forward to using it possibly this weekend... maybe even later today if it`d stop raining!

Yellow is a tough color to get glowing and you did an awesome job, good choice on the EZ creme, on medium colors it really does make a difference!

Thank you everyone. It`s good to see a nice car that gets taken care of the right way on a regular.

I see that a lot of people use the CG glazes. When do you apply them in the process?

Thanks
