    This vehicle belongs to a client of mine in Sewell, NJ. He takes good care of me and seems to always have more work for me! Needless to say, working for him is a pleasure with a double-bay climate controlled garage with a lift. This is his 2008 Z06. It was in fairly good condition, very few blemishes, just wanted to get it shining right! All of his cars ACTUALLY get driven, so there are some bugs and road grime present, along with some kick-up behind the tires. The wheels had a good amount of grime and brake dust on them, but nothing crazy. The clay stayed pretty clean, only some light contamination on the front bumper and side skirts. Despite a fairly hard clear...205 did a damn fine job cleaning it up.

    From the owner:
    "FYI
    It is a limited production "Wil Cooksey" vette.
    Wil Cooksey was the plant manager at Bowling Green Kentucky where all the
    corvettes are born. When asked what car he would most like to see built
    again he said the 427.

    Chevrolet decided to honor his retirement by building a "Cooksey Special"
    The engine is 505 bhp and 427 ci so they made 505 units (all identical) and
    sold 427 of them in North America, the other 78 went to Europe, Asia and the
    Middle East. (nice tie in of the numbers)

    Each one is signed in the center console by Wil Cooksey - I have # 314.

    I think it has about 2,100 miles on it.

    At the time I bought it - it was the most expensive Corvette they had ever
    produced (ZR1 started in 2009 and took that title). I was unaware of the
    most expensive status, I happened to see it while going to the shore on a
    Friday and fell in love with it. By the following Tuesday I owned it."

    Nice work. What did you do about the vinyl on the hood. I have a client who has the same car but some spots have appeared on it and dont know how to get them off.
