    Mysticine got a reaction from omegaman1978 in My old 2006 Z06.   
    I don't have any pictures of the process, but can tell you everything I used. 
     
    I didn't switch to the Cyclo, I'm still a huge fan of my Flex, Porter Cable, and the 4" drill pads.
     
    Wheels & Tires
    -Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner
    -Adam's All Purpose Cleaner
    -Adam's new Tire Shine
    -Adam's Quick Sealant on the wheels
     
    Body
    -Adam's Car Shampoo (foam gun and 2 bucket method)
    -Adam's Clay Bar
    -Adam's Paint Correcting Polish (admittedly only used this on the fenders as the rest has been swirl free thanks to the good techniques I've learned from here over the years)
    -Adam's Paint Finishing Polish
    -I used a non Adam's product as a sealant (been testing it on my daily driver and recently applied it to the Z06)
    -Adam's Brilliant Glaze was my final step
    -Adam's SVRT and In & Out Spray on trim
     
    I'm always happy with the results but seldom take pictures.  I took pictures this time because of the addition of the new hood.  I still get questions at gas stations "Is that the new Corvette?" 
     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    And finally an interior shot.  My Lloyd's mats are pretty worn, so please excuse them.

    Mysticine reacted to Sizzle Chest in Aftermarket hood: paint it or leave it be?   
    Leave it as is.  If you want some more carbon, add a ZR1 or Katech rear spoiler and side skirts.
     
    Car looks great!

    I plan on taking more pictures this weekend after the car has a fresh detail.   
     
    I'll take various angles and underhood shots.  I haven't given it the full inspection yet, but it appears to fit nicely - seems to go with the body, no unusual gaps or differing heights.  The hood required holes to be cut in it in order to close (hooks/struts next to the bumpers near the windshield).  It took the shop about an hour to do it. 
     
    I was browsing the corvette forums and saw a picture of the hood and really liked how it looks.  I ordered it back in July.  It took longer than expected (through no fault of the vendor), but was well worth the wait. 
     
    Now I'm debating keeping the stock hood since I know most buyers prefer the clean stock look...  and I also have a nice Z06 hood liner that I can't use.  First world problems.
