Innovative Detailing Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I wanted to share this recent exterior detail project I performed for one of my VIP customers C6. I perform this for him at least bi annually, so here are series of photos showing my son, wife and I bring it to life! It had some minor contaminants and fine hairline scratches on the surfaces...so my customer decided on a 2 step paint correction service. Vehicle was thoroughly pre-rinsed with R/O water, cleaned using Adams Car Wash Shampoo and rinsed with R/O water Wheels treated with Adams Green Wheel Cleaner and that stout wheel lug brush thats awesome Wheel Wells cleaned and degreased with Adams APC Wheel Wells treated with Adams Undercarriage Spray All surfaces prepped to remove bonded contaminants Some tar and paint splatter was visible on the lower wheel well egdes and rockers Thorough air drying af all surfaces Chrome Wheels gets some TLC with Adams Metal Polish Exhaust tips gets some love also with 4 oooo steel wool and Adams Metal Polish for the carbon build up. After my son completed the prep of all the surfaces and it was nice and smooth, I proceeded to use Adams Fine Machine Polish with my PCXP. My son chases me to remove the FMP Some of the first step results after FMP was removed That red was poppin! back to the fine polishing.... Some more reflection shots after the FMP was removed For my choice of LSP...Adams Americana, I love this stuff! My son chased the American off while I treated the tires and trim with Adams VRT My wife tends to the glass using Adams Glass Cleaner One last final wipe down and inspection for the ultimate "Adamized" C6 using Adams Detail Spray. Some finishing photo's.. Thanks for viewing my work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Beauty! My Dad has a red 06 that I'll probably give the Adams treatment later this year. It gives me another reason to borrow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasssc Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Car looks awesome! But, wouldn't it be bad to detail outside because of dust, pollen, other contaminants that could land on the finish right before you go over them with the PC? Possibly a noob question, but I'd like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a noob question, but I'd like to know. I think at the pace they were moving, with his son chasing him in product removal, and his ability to apply the next layer, they would be fine. You are somewhat correct in needing to be aware of those things. But in that climate under those conditions, the chances of something damaging falling on that Vette, within that time frame would be one in 100million. Plus, they were right on top of it, in order to notice it, should the small chance something land on it, they could take care of it immediately.
