1. New Car
2. Leather

Spent a couple days in the garage, where the temperature fluctuated between 45 and 50 degrees, detailing my "newer to me" 2004 Corvette.
 
I have a 1996 Corvette Collector Edition Coupe which was shown in various shows this past summer, and qualified for the Motor City Corvette Concours show held this past September. So, knowing how that car looked, I can now say that it needs to be "Adamized" to compare to this 2004. 
 
My plan is to show this 2004 and try to qualify it for the Concours show this upcoming summer show season.
 
Anyway, the detail process was performed using an Adams Cyclo  Pro 5 model, and it worked great over and around all of the contours and body lines of this C5.
 
Paint Correcting Polish - Orange Microfiber Pads -- (2) passes to remove all fine and some heavy scratches in the finish. 
 
Paint Finishing Polish - White Foam Pads - (1) pass
 
Brilliant Glaze - applied and removed by hand - double soft microfiber towel
 
Liquid Paint Sealant - applied and removed by hand - double soft microfiber towel
 
American Wax - applied and removed by hand - double soft microfiber towel
 
Took it outside today for a couple of quick photos, as it was sunny, but 20 degrees, and camera battery low.
 
Thanks to everyone at Adams, and all those on these forums for providing relevant information to get great results!

Here is a picture of my 96 from this past summer, around June if I remember correctly.
 
The 2004 I bought later in summer from the original owner, a 71 year old man retired from GM with 22,000 miles, and the 1996 currently has 42,500 miles.
 
I will also post "after" photos of the 96 once it too gets "Adamized."
 
Thanks for all of the comments and compliments!
