    That is GORGEOUS!!! Supergreat work, I am amazed they let it get that dirty!

    By the way, what was wrong with applying Souveran by hand?

    Man Dust you have been busy! The Vette looks great. I haven't used Klasse yet, so how did it work with the Flex? I can't believe the car was so dirty. So what's the story behind these two awesome machines?

    The klasse was great to work with. The paint on the corvette was cracked all the way around, i think it's the original paint. so i didn't want to get too aggressive. so i with the klasse to clean, which it did a great job of. the white lc provided a little bit, but finesse as well.

    both of these cars belong to the owner of the local chevy dealership. i went to highschool with his son, so that's how im connected. anyway a few months ago, i went to their house to detail the boat and saw these two sitting under an awning, covered and thinking i wanted to detail them.

    well Donnie calls me up and says he's got a couple cars for me... and guess what they were??

    but it was funny cause all the sales guys were old, and all telling me stories and what not... like little kids. the only drawback is that i didn't get any pics out in the sun. i went to the dealership the next day to get paid and they had them sitting out front... and boy they sure did look nice. people walking by were doing double takes... taking pics, drooling!!

    Another great turn around, good job!
    I don't understand why anyone would let classics get in such bad shape? Especially a Chevy Dealer. At least he has some great advertisement for his dealership now and hopefully for your business.

    Well the story behind that is they just recently got moved into their new location for the dealership. so these cars were kind of neglected. i guess that was their excuse anyway.

    oh ya, I talked to one of the mechanics and when they took the cars to the shop... they found 4 DEAD RATS in the nova!!!!:cagain:
