My Fastest Detail Ever
This car belongs to the owner of local performance shop. They recently finished up this project, so he gave me a ring to clean her up. The car is an '05 C6 Corvette with a 402 stroker motor and twin turbos :nervous2: It made 840 rear wheel horsepower...before they added the methanol kit 
Exterior Process:
Optimum APC on wheels/tires/wells
NXT wash
Zaino Z18 clay
Menzerna PO85RD w/ polishing pad (really awesome polish)
Zaino Z5 x 2
Zaino Z8
Eagle One 20/20 on all glass
Zaino Z16 on tires
Armor All in wells
Interior Process:
Vacuum mats
Wipedown w/ damp MF
Comments and/or questions...

So you like that 085rd I sent you huh? 
I take it when you said it is the fastest detail you were not referring to the amout of time it took you to do it.
Awesome car, love the Z06 wheels on it. Nice pics too.

I like the P085RD very much. I need to send you some Optimum...I forgot.
It took me around 5 hours, so definitely not my fastest detailing time
Thanks!

That paint looks awful flat, is it original GM paint or has it been redone or wet sanded?
More importantly, tell us about the ride...

agentf1 - Optimum is not a bad product, but I was let down by the durability. I didn't drive the car, but I'm getting a ride in it tomorrow 
dx2995 - the car belongs to Jason @ Texas Speed.
rrichar2591 - He and his wife were a little amazed and very pleased. It really made my work and time feel worthwhile
This was one of the most satisfying details I've had in a long time.

Thanks everyone
bugman - it's actually a discontinued polish from Menzerna. Frank was kind enough to send me a few ounces. There is another similar version still available called P0106FF...they're formulated for ceramiclear paints, like those on the newer MB cars.
