2003 black Z06-Do corvettes come in any other color? I can't remember what its like to polish any other color vette. Interior, no pics. Vac All surfaces wipedown with IZ cockpit premium. Z9/10 leather products for seats IG for windows. Process QEW wash Clay with Zaino Z-18 clay and Z6 50/50 for lube. Polish with Mequairs 105 compound/yellow edge wool/1700 3-4x Final polish with 3M Ultrafina/3M blue foam pad/1700. Moved car outside into 32°f temp and 20MPH winds. Foam lance w/ PW and 3oz of Z7 in a 32oz bottle filled with water. Wash with sheepskin mitt. Clean wheels (PB SnR) and tires (AM red hot APC) Rinse off everything including icy foam water combo with pressure washer. Car returned to 51°f garage to let light ice melt. Did not want to dry off car with any ice on it, no need to marr a freshly polished surface. Applied 2x of: 80% Z5pro/20% Z2pro/2 shots of Z8 and 4 drops of ZFX. Total mixed 3/4oz. I est the surface temp of the paint was in the 40°f area. Each application of zaino took approx 20-30 mins to cure. I applied it very thin as usual. Z8 wipedown. Bret showed up when I was finishing up polishing. He took some pics of my fun in the cold, dried the car, Z-16 to the tires and polished the tips with deepfinish chrome. Thanks Bret!!! Yes this side of the car turned to ice. Don't be hating my Frans Klamer era ski jacket.
Awesome work Bryan. I love the jacket Looking at the weather it looks like it was needed. I hate washing cars in cold weather. I was washing an M6 a couple of weeks ago in 40 degree temps and my quick connect broke spraying me with water...Not a happy time. Sure they should..as long as you don't have to detail them lol...
Thanks Jake! Thanks Rocket! Detailing would be boring without black vettes to work on. Thanks Pat! The jacket kept me nice and warm. Yes the weather does give you some challanges for sure. What year is yours Rocket? Thanks P1et! Here is the manual on the husky Q45 pressure washer. I got it from HD a few years ago when they had it on clearance for $200, plus I had a 20% off coupon. Its a nice size, but the fuel tank could be larger. Enough gas for 2 cars or 1 large truck. If you can find one at your HD some claim they have marked them down to $99 at some store and at other stores its still $199. Thanks! It was high 60s on Monday and back in the 60s tomorrow. Thanks klumzypinoy! :applause2: Thanks GBS! See the above link Phil, its 2200psi and 2GPM. Works excellent with the foam lance.
Very impressive job! Looks great! :giggle: that is a heat wave for Ohio! j/k I know the cold is a killer!
