Default Detailed the Z!!!

Used Claybar for the first time and an orbital auto buffer.....talk about an improvement from hand wax off and claybar before. I'm amazed how good it turned out!!! Now I just need a new cat-back to go with the chrome stuff at the back!!!!

looks good, make me want to get the clay bar after my car. I think some polished chrome wheels would look awsome.

VERY NICE detail job....paint looks fab. I had a 2000 Z....hated those wheels. Wheels would look great on that car. I traded instead of buying wheels. I wanted the SS stuff, and by the time you add wheels, add a hood, add a wing, you may as well trade for an SS...in my case.

Your car would look great with just wheels too.

Looks good. Check out TomzWheels, they're a sponsor here and you can get some wheels from him pretty cheap. My black Z06s were under 500 brand new.

I think my car was meant for me. My car had one owner before me. My car is a 1SC stripper and MMM. That's everything I wanted. I can't believe I found the car.

When I bought the car and my parents and I sat down to do the paper work, it was SO weird to see the lady that owner the car before me got it registered On May 19th 2001. May 19th is my birthday.
