Very nice. Super dark and wet looking, with crystal clear reflections. I have been thinking about getting some #21. How is the ease of use/durability? Great work.

Bigpoppa3346, thank you!

M21 is the easiest sealant I've ever used and durability is top notch (so I've read). It comes off so easy which is what I love. I actually read a thread that said if you apply M21 to a plastic zip lock bag and wait until it cures, the M21 will actually be able to peel away from the baggy...now that is a true barrier!! I ordered a gallon from a local distributor and they accidently ordered me two...but I took it anyways...Im glad I did!

Sweet, I'm definitely picking some up. Once again the Vette looks great.

'78 was well past the true muscle car days. The shift to auto trans. is a reflection of the transition of the Corvette from its sports-car roots to the luxo-GT it had become by that time. Same transition of the 240/260/280Z. These cars have come back closer to their roots in more recent times as the technology caught up to the emissions and safety requirements and allowed more horsepower and better ride/handling compromises.

Man that car has an 80s vibe to is. I'd say put the stock rims back on and ditch the uber cheesy pace setter exhaust tips.

Either that or invest in some gold chains and a mullet.

The black paint looks great though.

The owner couldnt agree with you more, this is how he bought the car...He is going to be putting on stock rims and exhaust system soon. Currently he is a little busy with his other car a 1960 somethin Ford Galaxy convertable! Very cool looking car..

Roadmaster: I use Zaino on almost all my details...and all I can say is wow. In my opinion it gives Zaino a run for its money! The part that sold me is the darkening effect and how you can really tell there is protection on the car. I wish I would have taken a side by side picture when I only had half a panel waxed..it was jus unreal to be able to see the line in the door clearly marking where I stopped waxing...you have to see it to believe it. I have a RV, Snowmobile, and a couple of truck details coming up...so I will continue to use the M21 and give more info on its look on other colors, I can already tell its going to make them super wet!
