Default Whats better than a 2011 ZR1? How about 5 of them! (many pics)

Most of you guys know I've done some ZR1s, but when I got the call (and timeframe) for this group it was pretty crazy! So I detailed not 1 or 2 of them, but 5 over the course of 3 days. To say they were long days would be a severe understatement! Keep in mind, I don't do volume stuff at all, so doing 5 cars in 3 days was a real challenge!

They were all a standard new car detail/prep. But they needed them flawless, so this is why I was brought in, to make sure they were 100% perfect. Dealer did not want any correction done. Only thing that needed it was the CF roofs on 2 of the ZR1's. Otherwise, since no one had touched them, they were swirl free.

Process (x5):

-wash
-Zaino Z18 claybar
-ONR as clay lube
-Zaino Z9 leather cleaner (dash and door panels as well since they were all equipped with the $4k leather dash/door upgrade).
-Zaino Z10 leather conditioner
-windows cleaned with Stoner's Invisible Glass
-Tires dressed with Gloss-It Signature Tire Gloss
-LSP was 2 coats of Blackfire Wet Diamond for a sick shine and feel




ZR1 #1
























Finished pics






light holograming on the roof from the factory. They didn't want me to do any correction on it though



























ZR1 #2

(only after pics on this one)

ZR1 #3
New color for 2011 - Supersonic Blue!
































ZR1 #4
(only after pics for this one)



















ZR1 #5!
(Night when I finished and I forgot my tripod, so my apologies for the blurry pics)












This is how I like to get them. Literally brand new. Only person to touch it before me when it comes off the truck is the dealership PDI guys for inspection. Then its set aside for me to come out and make it shine!











Finished pics

















Group pics of ZR1 3, 4, and 5. This is a trifecta! The 5th on (Jetsream Blue) hasn't been done yet, but light was fading and I wanted this picture!











Thanks for lookin! As always, I'm happy to answer any questions!

Actually I do them as soon as they come in. But I only do black, cyber gray, and crystal red. However, I do all ZR1's regardless of color. If they have a customer buying one, often they will have me come in and do that one if I haven't done it already.

I can move these around, but not drive them as there is no reason to put miles on them. I did get a change to drive another clients ZR1. Epic doesn't even begin to describe the sound/power/experience.

I'd be happy to Jess. Just give me a ring when you're ready!

Man, if I had that kind of talent, there's no way on earth I'd keep it to myself cause I've always wanted to be able to do this kind of work on the side since there's not a big market for stuff like that around here or at least one big enough to do it full time but Jeff, great freaking work sir.
