Default Black '04 Z06

The car is 2004 Z06 Corvette with Mallet suspension and wheels. I was contacted to do a good clean-up and partial defect removal on this Z06. Vette clear is such a pain to work with, but overall it turned out well.

Interior Process:
Vacuum
Wipedown with damp MF

Exterior Process:
Optimum APC on wheels/tires/wells
NXT wash
Zaino Z18 Clay w/ Wipe and Shine for lube
Poorboy's SSR 2.5 w/ polishing pad
Klasse AIO w/ polishing pad
Zaino Z6 wipedown
Zaino Z2 Pro
Zaino Z8
Armor All on tires

The before and after pictures aren't the best comparisons, but none-the-less, here they are:

Before:





After:

The wheel color may not be for everyone, but the wheels themselves (Mallets) are very nice and come in a variety of finishes.
