Sizzle Chest:
VERY rarely do I see Hooser tires on a vehicle, except at racing events that require the use of their tires (short tracks, both asphalt and dirt)
Not sure what the "street tire" combo is of rim manufacturer and tire manufacturer. Tires look like O-rings on those rims! I assumed the owner delivered them in a different vehicle and they were not in the trunk and passenger seat of the Corvette!

Listened to the video. Typical modified (cammed) hi-performance engine that sounds like it needs a tune-up at idle. Far cry from a stock Honda Accord engine that you cannot tell is running when it is at idle. (Go ahead, laugh!)

Now the detailing question: what do you thing of the new Flex XFE15 polisher and where do you use it? It just seem to be listed more and more in your details, but I just wonder how often you use it or if it used just here-and-there.
Also, when you say the paint was dull, was this the "classic" red-faded paint (pigment?) that vehicles of this color experience or is it unique to this or all Corvettes of this color as they age??

Nice work on a soon-to-be classic ZO6 Corvette. At least the owner had enough sense to put it in your skilled hands and get it looking like a museum-worthy show piece. I am sure this Corvette will come back to you again in the future for detailing.
Not a big fan of Corvettes, just an admirer.

Thanks Lonnie!

Those Hoosiers were slicks! LOL Street setup was COR wheels shod in Nitto Invo rubber. Big fat wide sneaks!!!!

Yep, it has had a `cam` installed for sure...among other things!

I will use the Flex for my finishing/polishing stage or when I don`t need the `beast`. I do like it. Smooth and a good quality machine.

Nope, not faded, just full of swirls that made it dull.

Appreciate the comments and...as always...the questions!
