Good job!
That looks awesome!

I didn't think it looked all that bad before, but the after pictures really made the before stand out.

It wasn't in too bad of shape but it had some really hard etching on the hood and deck lid. Those were the trouble'd areas.

Thank you for the kind words.

I use various products that work well with each other. For the particular one, I had to use a variety. I'll take a look at that QD.

I looked around and couldn't find that detailer. I'm always up to try new stuff. Did you get it online?

i was thinking of trying the surf city garage stuff on my sti, i use their car wash and like it. i need to take this clear bra off the front first makes the car look like it has a huge scratch on the front with the wax build up.

Tape it off. I've done a few vettes and lexus' that have had them installed and just tape off the 'seam' a little further than they actually are and you'll be good to go.

the build up is already there, i bought it used about a month ago with the bra installed. the problem lies with the wax, dirt, and debris are in the seam and the adhesive has started to seep out at the seam and is holding it all there. so i was going to remove it and completely detail the car since its cooling off outside.

I would look into using a plastic razor blade and getting it off that way. It won't harm the paints finish either.

btw i forgot to post, killer job on the vette.
