Totally WOW! I've got a black SC757 coming and I'm bringing these photos to the paint correctors and telling them that this is the gold standard...can you match. Totally amazing. Too bad the Barbie Jeep is so much faster than your Corvette lol. (tell me you didn't tell her it was...)

Freaking love it! I added the BMS drop in and the car feels better now across the rpm range
Thanks, is the factory stage 3 aero on the Z07
Thanks, they key to success is time! You have to take your time to get good results.
Haha! The little jeeps will melt the plastic wheels with stinky burnouts all up and down the driveway. I did the 24v conversions on them and they fly! I'm not sure how long the motors will last but they are several years old now and WELL used.

Well, I've had my Z for a month now and I've only driven it 4 or so times when the roads were clean, so I decided to go ahead and give it a full detail in preparation for spring.
I started with Adams corrective and then finishing polish on orange and white pads, and then followed that with a once over using Menzerna micro polish. The results are amazing! I'm going to apply the ceramic coat sometime next weekend.
I also added some GM splash guards, a bolra x pipe, some carbon fiber fender stripes (not sure how I feel about them yet) and my Tony Mamo PTB came in so I threw that on too.
Before...major swirl!
Looks great! Where did you get the splash guards?

Nice! I wish I could've just washed and sealed it but the paint was in bad shape from the previous owner. Also none of my pictures have any sealant or wax on it. Its just after the paint correction. I still haven't ceramic coated the car yet as I'm waiting on better weather.
