Detailed and lowered!

I did a full detail on my Z28 last week using whatever products I happened to have sitting around the garage. I believe it was Mother's claybar, Turtle Wax F21 polish, and Meguiar's wax. The polish and wax were applied using a $15 orbital buffer I got at Meijer. I really need to invest in a PC, because there are definitely swirls in the paint. Luckily, the car is red so they are hard to see unless you look close in direct light.

I also got Strano springs and KYB AGX shocks on it, so the car is FINALLY sitting at an appropriate stance. It isn't as clean now since I've been driving it all week, but here are a few pics anyway (with very slight editing to help compensate for my shitty camera)

Much better than before, right?

Let me know what you think!

Looks great man! Great color combination choice but I may be a bit biased towards that.

Can you get a close up different angle pic of the rear emblem?

Looks great. I wish that my stock headlights looked that clean and clear yet. I did the whistler mod to my lights and they clouded up terribly bad on the inside from me putting my lenses back on to soon. Now I am looking for some new ones. I see there are some on ebay that are reproduction lights I would like to try to redo my lights but idk if these will get ruined by trying to do the whistler. They are not OEM.

Thanks, the emblem isn't on there anymore, but it was from emblempros. I'll see if I can find a better pic of it

Thanks, I'm on the westside of Columbus and occasionally other parts of the state, so possibly!

Thanks, the last 2 pics are old, I've been through 5 different sets of wheels on this car lol. The chrome Z06 wheels are the current and only set I have
