1 Clean WS6
Detailing Rottweiler
Hey all!!
Today was a good day. :woot2: No minivans or luxury SUV's...just a pair of well kept Corvette show queens!!!
Both belong to the same gentleman who has been a regular client of mine for about 2 years now. I usually detail these two Vette's twice a year...once before the show season and once after. They are always garaged, covered and pampered with the owner maintaining them with Griot's shampoo and Speed Shine. After the first time I detailed them in which they were clayed and deep polished all they will typically need when I come out is a light polish and an LSP...today was par for the course. Both had minimal swirls with more towel marks than anything else (no matter how hard I try to steer him away from it both Vettes still get "chamois dried"). :nixweiss
The '76 is a resto-mod and is in clean driver condition. Not a Bloomington Gold car by any means but a great "Sunday show" Vette with about 90K original miles on the chasis. It's a factory 4-speed car with a warmed over 350c.i. motor (heads, cam, intake...etc.). The '00 has an internally stock motor with an intercooled Magnacharger and full exhaust. Through the factory 4-speed automatic transmission the car puts about 420 ponies down to the rear tires. Below are products and process for both cars.
Enjoy,
Mike
'76 Stingray:
Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo
Polish/glaze with Clearkote's Vanilla Moose using a Meg's 8006 pad with my PC set at 5.
Seal with Pinnacle's Souveran paste wax by hand with a foam pad.
'00 'Vert:
Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo
Polish with Klasse AIO using a Meg's 8006 pad with my PC set at 5-6. I applied the AIO a section at a time and used a MF dampened with water to remove.
Seal with Wolfgang's Deep Gloss Paint Sealant using a Meg's 9006 pad with my PC set at 4. I let the product set on the paint for about 30 minutes before removing.
Both cars had their tires and wells dressed with AA, the exterior glass has been VM'd and the rims were sealed with Meg's #20.

Please excuse the bit of dust in this shot...it was windy today.
