Default Detail: C5 Z06

This car came to me after just sitting in the garage for a good portion of its life. It was in really good condition and only needed minor correction. Having a lift to use made the process so much easier with being able to access the wheel wells and inner hoops of the rims this way. Not to mention not having to use my stool to get to the lower sections of the panels.

One pass of Menzerna SIP with an LCC orange pad.
Followed up with an LCC black pad and M205.
Polished with SFX and their synthetic wax using an LCC blue pad.
All trim and rubber was dress with SFX dressing.
Wheel wells dressed with Meguiars Natural Shine.








Wheel well before:


This was a test spot to ensure it was cleaned to my liking. The rest of the well was done the same as this.


Jams being washed:
























Back on the lift she goes.

It's silver. It's very hard to get a good picture of any befores with all the metalic flake in it.

My monitor at work isn't the greatest, but still, in pics, you need to put silver and pewter next to each other to see the difference, especially close up using a flash.

I understand. And I'll keep that in mind.

One other thing to keep in mind is they did not make any pewter Z06's. FRC's yes, but this is a true z06
