chops1sc Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just curious, why use a buffer for DS? What pad did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07r/t Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Looks good but I'm a bit confused!?!? Buffed on detail spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Gone Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yes I put the spay on heavy and used my buffer than wiped off. Just did it to see what the results would be. used white pads. If you never try you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well the results look good but I dont think detail spray has anything in it that a buffer can help with. My biggest concern personally is I dont like taking a pad to anything of unknown condition. After 25 years I would want that thing claybarred before a pad touched it. If anything I think you were scrubbing off surface contamination. We Gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Gone Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thanks for the comments, I'm definitely not a professional... Just been a home waxer for the last 40+ years and still use the same cyclo I bought in 75... The paint had been de-waxed clay-bared, Buffed with machine polish and sealed with sealer, was a several day project I do this every year. Just had the buffer out and decided to try it with the spray. can't say it works better but no ill effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I see the yellow ZR-1 too. Quite a car in its day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Still quite a car today, and the paint looks flawless on both to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Still quite a car today, True. Just was thinking a car that would click off low 13s in the early 90s was quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Gone Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Thanks Guys, the blue is a 91 ZR-1 with a 500hp upgrade, the yellow a 93 ZR-1 and one of only two ever built comp yellow with white interior.

rrmccabe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Very cool. I did the Bowling Green tour when they were being built and they were amazing. So see one of those motors sitting next to the base powerplant was very cool. Totally different animal. If I remember right didn't Mercury Marine build the engines for GM?

You are correct, the only Corvette with a non GM power plant, GM & Lotus designed MM built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
