40th Anniversary ZR-1 Corvette (8 Days, More Than 60 Hours!!) by RickRack...

evo77- Thanks! All the hard-to-reach areas (emblems, door jambs, hood jambs, hatch jambs, headlights, etc.) were polished with Meguiar’s 105, followed by Menzerna 106fa using a microfiber applicator and then sealed with Zaino All In One.



gmblack3a- Thanks a lot Bryan! I don't know how much longer I can detail for. 15 years of detailing is really taking a toll on my body!



PrideSS- Thanks! I was not able to use a paint gauge because it does not work on fiberglass. They do make them for fiberglass, but are pretty expensive. I have a pretty good eye for spotting thin paint and don't really find it necessary.
 
Amazing work Rick! I really did not expect the afters to look so good considering how bad the paint looked beforehand! Very impressive.
 
Man that car was trashed but now I'm sure its one of the cleanest cars in the country. Great job guys! Now rest for a few days and have a cold one :D

Matt@Autogeek- Thanks Matt! I knew the car had a lot of potential, but never thought it would end up so nice!



Looking at your avatar makes me miss my Z! :sadpace:



Got_Leather- Thanks DJ!
 
i swear some of u guys should host a "detailing" reality tv show. the work u did was beyond beautiful and the write up was well............ having me wanting to to see the next days work. man please keep up the good work we all appreciate it
 
Damn! Now that's quite the recovery you pulled off, Rick!



If there was an automotive DSS (Dept. of Social Services), I would have called them! Can you say NEGLECT!!??



Great job!
 
PhatHoodDetail- Ha,ha... You should see what goes on in the shop every day... :buffing: "A Day in the Life of a Detailer". This is only my full-time/part-time job too. I work a total of 70+ hours almost every week and have no life!



I'll try to post up a couple more details when time allows... Thanks!



tom p.- Thanks a lot Tom!
 
Rick, what else can be said :doh ? BEAUTIFUL WORK, STUNNING RESULT :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow . i would love to see the the jaw of the prior owner hitting the pavement :rofl ! thanks for taking the time to share. :xyxthumbs
 
OMG dude, your work is...well man...it's so freakin AWESOME that i just want to come up there and bash your face in. I don't even know how to compliment you b/c everything you touch turns into perfection, so i guess i'll just have to resort to violence. Will you adopt me? hahahahaha
 
i just wrote a big thanks to bella machina for their work on a farrari430 that just came out stunning, then i click on to your detail and i'm just as blown away. you guys have the passion and the skill to do such mind boggling work, please don't take it for granted, your, work and that of bella machina's, is an inspiration to us all, and yes i speak for every member on this site, your attention to detail, pardon the pun, is second to none. i know it inspires me to do better, please keep up the remarkable work and thank so much for taking the time to post it for all of us to enjoy, bless you.:wow:
 
Amazing! I have some areas on my C5 that I might just try wetsanding. I cant believe how you brought that car back from the dead!:bow:bow:bow
 
Nice work...again! That looks like it had to be one of the more difficult cars.



That car is beautiful!! I love reading these write ups, but every one of them makes me add another car to my wish list...



You guys REALLY need to get some sort of lift so you can do this a little longer.
 
Rick's work is inspirational and certainly motivating. Just wanted to give a second props for all the lurkers who haven't. Great job Rick!! I just re-read the thread for the third time!!!
 
W.E.T.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



You and Ryan put out the best darn details!!!!!



It is one thing to make a new car look better, you two do it to old cars.



AMAZING WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
