Default My new 02 Z06 and a sneak peak of a 70hr restoration detail

Well I had been getting the itch for a Vette a while. I finally decided to scratch that itch and after an exhaustive country-wide search I found this one and brought it home and got to work on it. I pulled out all the stops for this detail. Here's a sneak peak at the result of 70 hours of work!

*******UPDATE 2/15/12*******

Thanks! Yep, I spent 4 days detailing an 01 Z in Torch Red and getting that car's paint up to 90%+ correction it changed my mind and thats the color I had to have.

Pretty much every inch of the car got the nth degree. There is still about 5-8 hours I still want to put into it, but I gotta get back to work on other cars too!

Man I envy you like most others do...I wish I had the space to detail my car! I purchased all the best **** to do it yet I have to drive my car around with a **** load of swirls and scratches because I cannot even hand wash it where I live.
Look forward to seeing more pictures!
