Great job D2G! You definitely made that white pop! :applause2: The wheels came out nice as well! Love the reflection shot on the chrome. You brought the interior back to Vette standards! I enjoyed the write up, thanks for sharing this detail with us. :thumb: Dave
Great job Dust. The wheels are amazing once you got through with them. So what did you think of the beta wax?
Well thanks for taking the time to read and check out my work. dude to be honest it's some good stuff... went on smooth and off just as smooth. hardest part is it's a white wax so i had to buff a few times to make sure i got everything off, but i used it in direct sunlight and it didn't effect taking it off... left the surface feeling ultra smooth. i just hope these people will jump onto my maintaince plan so i can see how long this stuff will last
Wow!!! another great job from you Dust!!!:worship2: I love the engine bay, look really perfect!!!:thumb: keep comming:applause:

Corvette rims(stock polished ones) are always so nice to work on. They have to be the easiest rims I've ever had to shine up.
That is no joke... honestly after using Meg's Wheel Brite on them, they were pretty shiney, but didn't have any depth, so that's why I pulled out the Deep Finish
