    Decided to do a little clean up on the Vette. Washed with Pinnacle Bodyworks, sheeted water then dried with Pakshak ww. Wheels/tires cleaned with P21S wheel gel with Swissvax wheel brush. Wheels cleaned with P21S TAW and dressed with Wolfgang tire gel(only thing I found this stuff good for). Exhaust tips cleaned with P21S polishing soap. Used the rotary with SIP/orange CCS pad on a few scratches, Ultrafina/blue CCS pad for final polishing. Used the PC to apply Swissvax Cleaner Fluid/Gray pad, removed with Pakshak ultraplush mf and applied Swissvax Mystery with a yellow applicator and also removed with Pakshak ultraplush mf. Wheels sealed with Poorboys wheel sealant inside and out and torqued to spec with Snap-on torque wrench. Tires dressed with Optimum tire gel. Trim is dressed with 303. Windows cleaned with Stoners Invisible glass cleaner and Pakshak window ww.

    Thanks Phil and JL, the sun shots are for you Phil:thumb: As far as Mystery goes you need it, it gives it a little extra that pictures will never show. Once again thanks for the compliments.

    Looks great Asphalt Rocket! Anyone with a black C6 and Snap On Torque wrench can't be all bad. I always torque my lugs to specs with my snap on too:thumb:

    Smith2287 Welcome to Detailing

    Great job on your car man, I really like the paint with mystery on it. I was at the dealerships like ten times already looking at a C6 for myself, and until looking at yours all shiny I was able to hold off know its going to be real hard.

    Great work,

    -Corey

    Thanks Lance, nothing wrong with Craftsman if you don't use tools everyday for a living.

    Thanks Jason, you and JL like the same pics, I just thought JL would like the Steeler pics better since he is a big fan.

    Thanks alot Gary, I knew we would agree on something sooner or later.:thumb: I pull the wheels on all my details and re-torgue to spec, glad to see someone else doing the same.

    Thanks P1et, I love black cars and when they are clean there isn't a better looking vehicle. As far as the Cobra you are right that will be a detail for sure-and yes it is lacking a little love right now-lol

    Thanks Phil, Its all about the Swissvax. hahaha

    Thank you Corey, I feel all Vettes should be black not red-lol. Just go and buy it, the longer you wait you will change your mind and never get it. Trust me I do the samething, I waited over a year before buying this Vette.

    Thanks Joe, I was telling JL someone is going to mention me looking short in that pic-lol

    Thanks Supercharged, It was just a clean up, you know my feelings on details-lol, thats why there isn't any before shots, now the Cobra will be a different story.

    Steelers suck and the vette looks like crap.

    Thanks Pirex, my Swissvax buddy.

    Dan-last time I checked Cleveland was worse than the Steelers and if the Vette looks like crap what would we call your Mustang. Oh, I forgot to thank you for the compliment on the Vette.
