Great job on the 'Vette! How hard was the paint? I worked on a C6 Z06 last year and the clear was hard as a rock, I had to use a wool pad with my rotary for the first time on a correction detail since I was getting little progress otherwise.

Thx man... It is just as u said. Hard as a rock. I had to go twice over with the orange pad, and only 95% correction attained. There was some deeeeeep stuff on there.

Today I drive zena to work and to the gym. A beautiful day.

today i put beach towel over my Z's hatch taped down with 2 masking tapes at the corners. why? our community is getting a hosedown (powerwash) to get our houses cleaned.

while i modded the garage door not to leak any water just another thing to prevent any chance for water spots. can't wait to get home to kick their arses...

What kind of "community" do you live in? Stepford Wife-type?

ha! absolutely not.

my lawn use to look decent until lazy landscapers cut out sod and then 'forgot' (took dandy long) to put them back after the driveway widening mod was complete earlier this summer. i was able to revive one side with daily watering but the other side died. HOA franko (he's italian too so i dont mess with him) said 'ken, you gotta keep watering every day' so i said 'ok' and watered every day as instructed yet it still died.

he insisted me to keep watering it so i finally told him to f-off.

Red__Zed · 08-19-2011, 06:11 PM

Nice to know some things are still passed down through generations haha. Do you have any full body shots? The car of course.

The good thing is that 95% correction in our eyes is perfection in everyone else's eyes which is what counts when you detail someone's car.

Reminds me of when my neighbour caught me cleaning my exhaust, I was on my knees practically under the car cleaning my CF Mufflers..."he was like, no one can see that" I'm like "yes they can and I know" lol

Ha, some people will never understand. Detailing is kind of therapeutic and relaxing to me, plus I always enjoy knowing that I have the cleanest car in any area I go.

My neighbors used to car me car boy since the first month I had the Z, I had the garage door up and the car on jack stands doing something every week haha.
