Adam's Detailed: 2003 Z06 Corvette

[AdamsPolishes]

Here's a job our team member Chase did. Great turnaround on this poor black paint!

This client contacted me as an AVID Corvette fanatic. This is the 37th Vette he's owned!! Title of this thread denotes the year, model, & miles. Needless to say it was a CHALLENGE. Primarily in the paint finish. Honestly, the interior & engine bay were in pretty good condition! It's obvious the previous owner had intentions on keeping this gem clean, but simply had NO CLUE as to how to care for the paint finish. Heavily swirled & marred, I knew I had some hours ahead of me, in paint correction!! Overall, the car looked "dirty gray" (even after being washed) and not even a shimmer of gloss left in it. Here was my plan of attack:

• Adam's Boar's Hair Brush & Car Wash Shampoo on the engine bay (no APC needed)
• Blow dry with Metro Sidekick blaster
• Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Fender Brush on tires & undercarriage
• Adam's Turbo Stick & All Purpose Cleaner on wheels
• 2-bucket wash with Adam's Car Wash Shampoo & an added 2oz. of Adam's APC (to strip old wax, etc. - without this, the Adam's Car Wash Shampoo is PH neutral) along with 2 Jumbo Wash Pads
• Rinse car & Adam's Clay Bar with Detail Spray entire vehicle
• Condition engine bay & all plastics with Adam's SVRT & block sponge
• Tires dressed with Adam's SVRT
• Wheel wells dressed with Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray

Polishing consisted of the following:

• New "prototype" Adam's heavy compound polish
• New "prototype" Adam's microfiber cutting pads
• Flex PE14-2 Rotary
• Flex 3401 Polisher
• 4" Drill Kit for the lower doors & scoops
• New "prototype" Adam's fine machine polish & Adam's White Pad
• Top off with Adam's Brilliant Glaze & Americana Paste Wax, both applied with a Red Hex Grip Applicator
• All polishes & waxes removed with Adam's Single Soft & Double Soft towels

Why do I aaaaaaalways forget to take interior pics???!!!?!?!!! Aaaaarrgghh!!! Well, anyway, here's what I used......

• Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner & Interior Brush on seats
• Adam's Leather Conditioner & block sponge on all interior leather & plastics
• Adam's Detail Spray & Single Soft towel on glass (was pretty clean upon arrival)
• Adam's Quick Sealant on windshield (out of Glass Sealant)

Thanks for looking!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!
