Default 2007 Corvette Detail (no 56k)

This car is litterally brand new. The owner only picked it up a few weeks ago. The car was in great shape, and is even better now Thanks again to Keith and my compliments to him for caring for this Vette the right way, right from the beginning.


It got Zaino Claybar, 1 coat of Z5, 2 coats of Z2Pro, and Z6 detailing spray. Polished the exhaust tips too.

Pics 2, 5, & 6 seem to show it well. Just think of an orange and how there are little dimples everywhere on the rough skin texture. Then look at the pictures and you will see that the paint doesn't appear smooth but sort of like a bunch of pixels. If you look close enough on your car you'll see it; I know I can see it on my black car.

Gotta love GM's orange peel paint. I'm beginning to just use the "OP" addendum to each color's acronym. For instance, NBM becomes NBMOP, AW becomes AWOP, etc. It's much more accurate this way.
