Joyriide Detailed: 1967 Corvette Stingray, RRS, CLS

First up is the 67' Corvette. Just about everything on this car is original equipment with matching VIN's. Quite rare from what I was told and very expensive. Owner is a standup guy who let me use his garage for two days while I worked on it. Day one was spent detailing the interior, washing, and prepping the car. Day two was spent strictly polishing. This car had a lot of curves and small spaces to work with on the hood, which ironically was the most abused. The rest of the car's body had a light haze from a visit with a bodyshop and a small amount of swirling.

Interior

Woolite 6:1
Meguiars QID
Zaino Leather in a Bottle
Meguiars Detailer Line Glass cleaner
and a variety of brushes to help scrub out the carpet and loosen dirt before vacuuming and dusting the vents.

Exterior

Meguiars Gold Class
Zaino Clay Bar (lightly clayed during wash)
Menzerna SIP via Polishing pad 1200-1500rpms
Menzerna 106ff via Finishing pac 1200rpms (Ultrafina was not behaving and causing my pad to skip and jump everywhere)
Zaino Z6 wipe down
Zaino ZFX'd Z2pro x1
Z16 on tires, buffed off 10 minutes later to dull the shine of the tire.

Engine
As I said, the car was all orginal, which scared me when it came to detailing the engine bay, so all it got was a wipe down and some CD-2 on the areas I could get.

and a happy and satisfied enthusiast.

You may also remember that I detailed a CLS55 AMG not too long ago, well that was the same owner, so while I was there on day one, I cleaned it up since it hadn't been washed since the detail. Not that it was too bad either, its not driven much from what I understand.



Meguairs Gold Class
Zaino Z6 Wipe Down
Meguiars Hyperdressing 1:1
Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer





Oh, and I also had great cars around me to gawk at and take notice of.
Its not pictured here, but there were several 3 series throughout this detail, and a ZO6 on the otherside of the driveway. :confused0068:



I liked this shot. Looked soo awesome to me.

A quick drive to the next neighborhood a few blocks away, was a quick cleanup of a Range Rover Sport. Normally this is not something I'd do for non-detail clients, I normally do this when convenient as a maintenance so that cars don't go back to their abused original state, but since this was a friend of the client I was with, I figured a quick drive over wouldn't hurt.

This car was a bit dirty, interior messy, and exterior in really bad shape. You can't see it in the shade but it was contaminated. swirled, scratched, etched, you name it, it had. Luckily the sun was aiming from the west and the massive estate provided good shade.

Interior was vacuumed, dusted, brushed out, and wiped down with Meguiars QID.

Meguiars 1:1 on tires.







I also had a bit of eye candy to stare at on this location as well. Another Turbo! I'm telling you, it was like a car show for me. This didn't even have his tags yet and already had wheels and Recaro kits.



My back is sore, but this was an exceptional weekend with nice cars to work on and around.
