Default 2008 VY Corvette C6 detail and new wheels

Was maxed out on PTO so I had to take a day off and figured no better time to detail the car. Have had the car for almost a year and a half and the paint was in pretty good shape. Some light swirls but all in all, good shape for an 08 garage kept, not daily driven car. Ended up doing 1 pass with the Clay Bar, 1 pass with my PC DA Swirl remover with orange pad, 1 coat of Zymol. Took about 5 hours start to finish and now 75% of the swirls are gone, could have gotten 90+ with another pass, but to me, it looks great.

Also just got new wheels from Bob at House of Wheels. They are gloss black ZR1's with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's. These tires are a whole lot better than the stock GY RF's as noted continuously on the forums and have been great so far. Only other mods on the car is 20% tint all around and M2W switch.

Anyways, on to the iPhone pics (sorry camera is down for the count).












Also saw this out the other day (pic was taken when I was parked):

Thanks! Ya I know black wheels aren't for everyone. Had chrome for a year and half and just wanted a change.
