Default Moar ZR1 goodness :)

Ok guys, I finally went through the 3900 pictures I've taken over the last 2 months (so not kidding) and sorted them out. Here's a pair of ZR1 that got some love. Both Z's got a wash, claybar, Zaino, interior cleaning, clean/condition all leather, and the black one got some paint correction as well. This will be kinda brief since things are still crazy busy at the moment but wanted to put up some pics for ya!

Silver 2010 ZR1 was shot with my old Nikon D40 and it was a super lame overcast day But it cleaned up nice!

























AFTER




































Here is a black 09 ZR1. Needed some paint correction to correct for some light swirls and scratches before sealing with Zaino.


Only had time for after photos with this one. But I shot it with my NEW Nikon D90 Still haven't tweaked the settings on it yet, but pics came out nice.







































Thanks for checkin it out!

The first couple high dollar cars made me a little nervous, but not anymore. I've done so many that its normal to me i guess lol. Get a group together and I'll make that trip!

In this pic:


Is it me or does that panel have a lot of orange peel?

The ZR1s I've seen in NC have also had a lot of orange peel, you would think a 100K+ vehicle, with all the hands on building of the car (like the new option to build a Z06 motor by a customer) that they would wet sand these cars to get rid of the peel.

The first thing I'd do if I bought a ZR1 or any high priced car is take it to a body shop that specializes in show car quality jobs and have them wet sand the car and spray more clear and wet sand again to get rid of all the factory optioned orange peel, especially on a black car.

Those cars are gorgeous. I love the body lines of the ZR1s, but I'd like to see an option to get rid of the hood 'window'.
