<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;">Checking in after relatively cool weather in Raleigh, Cary, Durham area for the summer/fall temperatures. Usually I`m cringing from the amount of sweat and humidity we have to deal with.

<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;">2014 Corvette Stingray with Z51 Package. Aka the "Batman". This one has been a royal pain due to the dropping temperatures for fall. I`ll recheck this one soon enough. Wheels off removal, OptiGlass to windows, Opticoat to paint. Paints on these are a bit odd, they can scratch with the wrong towel and pressure. Yet a bit hard for the deeper defects which makes me think temperature of the composites really affect polishing results. Trim around these cars are metallic, which is what they should produce instead of a flat black!
