Detailer's Domain: Z06 and Swissvax Mystery

This car is a beast, it looks so nice in person, love it. In black even better!

I was called into do some paint correction on this beast. Exterior only job.

Needless to say 3800 miles and tons of swirls and light scratches. We were also doing all this to get it ready for clear film install from Nelson /Clear Image in NJ.

Note: Pictures were not great. Light was an issue.

Okay so here are the pics:

Before:









P21S in action, wheel clean up:


Agitating dirt with a Boar's Hair Brush/P21S Gel on the wheel and P21S Autowash in the wheel wells and on the tires:



Alvin wiping the excess water and doing a once over with Adam's Detail Spray:


After shot of the front wheel:


Exhaust tips before:



Exhaust tips after hitting them up with Adam's Metal Polish 1 and 2 (used a microfiber applicator pad and a microfiber towel to buff)



After the wash and clay we were left with a clean surface take a look at the imperfections (sorry lighting was very poor)





Unfortunately this was our best 50/50 shot (this should be after Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna Top Inspection wipe down/finished with Menzerna PO85rd and then once again wiped down with Menzerna Top Inspection)


Some action shots:

Me on the Makita:


Alvin making sure all is good:


And of course Swissvax Mystery applied and waiting for removal:


Alvin taking a pic of himself...(The Mystery was still on the door)


After shots in all different light with flash/without flash/with halogens...















I thinks these are the best shots. Alvin took this with his Canon SLR (not sure if its a D20 or D30)

 

Fantastic Work!! Love those cars!! BTW.. How long do you let the Mystery stay on the paint before you wipe it off?

 

about 10-20 minutes something like that.

thanks!

 

Great job phil, nothing like a correctly detailed black vette.

 

thanks!

 

THATS some CRAZY gloss!!! Cant wait to get my MYSTERY!

Hats off to you on that Vette detail!

I always thought you were THIS guy:

 

Looks like Darth's ride is ready to go!

 

So did I phil, always thought he was the guy with the hat.

 

Vehicle looks great there Phil :druling: and they have great curves.

I had the opportunity to detail one of these bad boys and they are great to detail, finally I had a go at a Vett :woo: :woo: and to be honest they weren't as bad as people made them out to be..well it's the only one I've done so far but more to come.

Any who, the vehicle looks great and the pictures are lovely too :worship:

Thank you for sharing with us.

 

hahah no that's Dan Sene a good friend of mine a car broker out here in NYC.

 

what!

 

sure thing I thought this was one was great detail as well, lots of fun. I thought it was tough though.

 

Man that looks good

 

awesome work phil. Soo wet

 

Its good you actually use the products as well as sell them.
Great work, how is Menzerna Top Inspection?

What did you charge for a Mystery detail?

 

The SLR is worth the money. This is a visual art, better photos sell more work.

 

Great work Phil that vette looks soooo glossy. I am constantly amazed at how good the Z06's look...WOW!

 

Exterior only a bit under quoted at $350.

Yes an expensive camera and lens makes a huge difference.

The other pictures are done with an SD630 point and shoot.

 

Absolute top work as usual Phil! What did you use on the tires? I think I might have missed that...

 

Adam's VRT on the tires.
