`01 Corvette Convertible topped with Natty`s

My neighbor picked this car up about two months ago. It`s an 01 with about 25,000 on the clock. The only mods I know of are a Volant CAI, Borla Exhaust, and a performance chip. Only bad thing is that it`s an auto

The car was in pretty good shape, it had some swirls from his poor washing techniques (which I enlightened him on earlier), minor fallout on the deck lid and hood but nothing too serious. And let`s not forget that famous GM factory orange peel...
He had me do a one step polish "to test my polishing abilities", but I think it could have used a two step. The one upside was that he washed the car this morning so that saved me some time.

Wipe down with P&S Paint Gloss
P&S Clay on deck lid/hood
Presta Swirl Remover via Edge blue waffle pad at 1400 RPM`s (X2 on hood)
Natty`s Blue by hand
Longevity Sealant on wheels
P&S Shine-All for wells, Wipe N Shine on tires
Paint Gloss for final wipe

Yea yea the black trim on the deck lid isn`t too great. I tried every product I had, but NOTHING would hold...

Overall I was pretty happy with the finished product, it could have used more work but that will come later this summer he says. I`ve got two more cars coming my way from him, his wifes dark blue 325i and a black `66 Mustang with a 390

Looks good to me. That`s some nice depth you achieved.

Audiboy said it first but I concur. Nice depth!!

Is that black or blue? Or is it blue black? Either way it is a nice shine.

Thanks, guys. And the car is black, Patrick

I really dig the Presta Swirl Remover. I`ve always had great luck using it and it leaves an awesome gloss to start waxing with. This was the first dark colored car I`ve done with Natty`s, so I`m definately impressed with the results it gives.
