This Vette has had a life of being pampered. Only being driven on sunny days, always being stored in garages, nothing but the best for her. The past couple of owners have definitely taken pride in her, and taken great care of her. But, somewhere along the way there has been a few improper wash jobs causing a few surface defects such as random light scratches, spider webbing and other light defects. The owner wanted it brought back to it's Tru_Shine! in 14 hours straight!
Beginning the prep:
Weapon's of choice
5 gal bucket
Grit Guard
100% Sheep skin wash mitt
Dawn ultra concentrate
EZ detail brush small and large
Chemical Guys Diablo wheel Gel 3:1 ratio
misc wheel brush
spoke wheel brush
lug nut brush
P21s polishing soap
Clay magic blue fine Claybar
other misc bushes
I began by washing with a Strong dilution of Dawn detergent to really strip off any old waxes, This is a very important step because if the pad is polishing on top of waxes then its not working at its full potential and you wont see the optimum results when finished. After the wash, the car was Clayed using the soapy water as lube.
Here is the car when I arrived.
I first sprayed the Chemical guys Diablo Wheel Gel to let it dwell and break down all of the wheel grime while I got everything together for the wash.
after that I presoaked the car knocking off anything big
Using my EZ detail brushes, I got into all of the tight areas.
I polished out the tips using P21s polishing soap
